Chinese has always had the tradition of respecting and loving the elderly, and people regard the elderly as the mascot of a family. "There is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure", it is considered blessed to have an old man in a family.
In people's minds, eighty years old is definitely an old man. Zhong Nanshan, who is more than eighty years old, has subverted this inherent concept, he is already more than eighty years old, deaf, eye is not flowery, his legs and feet are neat, his reaction is sensitive, and his memory is not comparable to many young people. A few days ago, he gave an interview to the whole video of the whole English, which made many people watch it and sigh.
This is like a man in his eighties, he looks younger than many people in his sixties!
Academician Zhong's good health is a blessing for all of us Chinese.
It is worth saying that in the Zhong Nanshan family, he is really "young", because he has three aunts who are more than 100 years old, and an aunt who is more than 100 years old.
A man in his eighties, and a centenarian aunt, a hundred-year-old aunt, you say, happiness is not happiness?
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" >, Zhong Nanshan's aunt: rescue wounded soldiers, donate bodies, and be enthusiastic about public welfare</h1>
Zhong Nanshan's aunt was named Chen Jincai. When many people who like literature hear this name, they will think: Hey, how is it similar to the name of Chen Jinduan, Lin Yutang's lover who has been in love with his life? Are they sisters?
It really is. Chen Jincai is Chen Jinduan's cousin, but the age difference between the two is relatively large, and Chen Jincai is more than twenty years younger than his cousin Chen Jinduan.
Chen Jinduan's father was Chen Tian'en, and Chen Jincai's father was Chen Tian'en's younger brother Chen Tian'en. Chen Tianen practiced medicine in the Philippines in his early years, and later returned to China to set up Chen Tianen Medical Center, where he participated in the establishment of many industries while practicing medicine, becoming a famous industrialist in Xiamen.
Chen Jinduan and Lin Yutang missed their lives but could not come together, because of the huge difference between the two families, Lin Yutang was the son of a poor priest, Chen Jinduan was the daughter of a rich businessman, and her father hoped that she would marry the right person.
Chen Tianen, who felt guilty in his heart, introduced Liao Cuifeng, a girl from the neighbor Liao family, to Lin Yutang, the Liao family is also a famous door in Gulangyu Island, and the family is better than the Lin Yutang family, but Liao Cuifeng admires the talent of Lin Yutang and marries Lin Yutang regardless of the difference between the doors.
Chen Jincai's father, Chen Tianpet, a surgeon who graduated from St. John's University in Shanghai, died at the age of 49.
Chen Jincai attended the Advanced Nursing School affiliated with the Red Cross Society of the National Shanghai Medical College, and at the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, she worked as a nurse in the Wounded Soldiers Hospital of the 19th Route Army.
In order to treat the soldiers injured on the anti-Japanese front, Chen Jincai worked overtime day and night, so tired that he fainted next to the operating table.
In 1943, Chen Jincai married Zhong Nanshan's uncle Liao Yonglian, who was a doctor of medicine at St. John's University, and like his nephew Zhong Nanshan, he was a good doctor with superb medical skills and high morals.
After the death of Zhong Nanshan's grandfather, because Zhong Nanshan's mother Liao Yueqin and aunt Liao Suqin were both working in other places, Liao Yonglian decided to return to his hometown to practice medicine and take care of his mother.
Growing up in Shanghai, Chen Jincai did not hesitate to follow her husband Liao Yonglian back to Gulangyu Island, grandpa Zhong Nanshan's hometown.
Chen Jincai became a warm-hearted public welfare person in Gulangyu Island, and people called her "Liao Niang" or "Dr. Liao Niang". Shu Ting, who grew up in Gulangyu Island, said: "Liao Niang has been enthusiastically involved in large and small events on the island all her life, official, folk, church, family, and neighborhood, Liao Niang always responds to requests, and does not hesitate to do anything." ”
Once, the mistress of Chen Jincai's neighbor jumped into a well and died, and the public security personnel wanted to use an iron hook to retrieve the body, Chen Jincai saw the rush to stop it, she said: "You are so chaotic, not only are your clothes and pants torn, I am afraid that you will also open the skin and flesh, and the deceased will be even more pitiful." ”
The wellhead of the well was very small, and the man could not get down, so Chen Jincai volunteered to go down the well to retrieve the body. She carefully stepped on the wall of the well down to the bottom of the well, dressed the deceased, tied the rope, and let the person above slowly pull the deceased to the ground.
At that time, the families of those who had accidents or died of illness on the island asked Chen Jincai to dress and sort out the dead, and she cleaned up the dead every time and let them leave with dignity.
In the 1990s, Chen Jincai and her husband Liao Yonglian went to medical school, saw that several students shared a human body during the anatomy class, and proposed to donate the body with her husband, which was not yet donated by the Health Bureau. In 2007, Xiamen became a human organ donation committee, Liao Yonglian has passed away, and Chen Jincai, who is in his nineties, rushed to go through the procedures of donating corneas and body donations.
The elderly Chen Jincai is now 103 years old and still in good health. Zhong Nanshan will also visit his aunt when he returns to Gulangyu Island.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" >2, Aunt Zhong Nanshan: Read the scriptures every day, sing poetry, and teach yourself the art of straightening muscles to help others</h1>
Zhong Nanshan's father, Zhong Shifan, is a doctor of medicine at New York State University in the United States, and is one of the "Eight King Kongs" of pediatric medicine in China.
Zhong Shifan has three sisters: Zhong Mingzhao, Zhong Mingxiu, and Zhong Mingxian. Among them, Zhong Mingzhao settled in Hong Kong, and Zhong Mingxiu and Zhong Mingxian settled in Xiamen. The Zhong family is a longevity family, and these three aunts of Zhong Nanshan have all lived past a hundred years.
A newspaper once interviewed Zhong Nanshan's aunt, The Elderly Zhong Mingxian.
When Zhong Mingxian was in middle school, because her mother had a stroke, she took a break from school to take care of her mother at home, and she took care of her for twelve years. Because of the delay in taking care of her mother, she only went to junior high school.
Zhong Mingxian was single throughout her life, and two nephews took care of her old age.
Although Zhong Mingxian did not go to school much, she was very smart, taught herself the art of straightening the tendons, massaged herself when she was uncomfortable, found the acupuncture points corresponding to the pain in practice, and eliminated the pain through the corresponding massage.
Zhong Mingxian was very helpful, often people asked her for a massage of the tendons, she was always very happy to help. Only to help others, not to ask for returns. If she takes a break from school too soon, she may become a medical person like Zhong Nanshan.
Because of her good popularity, almost every day people came to visit her, or talk to her and treat her. Her nephew said that the old man read the Bible every day, sang poetry, and "lived in happiness and peace."
Every time Zhong Nanshan returned to Xiamen, he always went to visit his aunt.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > three, the longevity of the elderly Chen Jincai and the elderly Zhong Mingxian</h1>
People in the world do not want themselves and their relatives to live a long life, and since ancient times, people have been diligently looking for the secret of longevity. What's the trick to longevity?
The first is to be genetically good, without major genetic diseases and underlying diseases. This is an innate condition that each of us cannot change. But beyond Providence, there is also the human part.
In the manuscript I wrote about Aunt Zhong Nanshan, I analyzed the secret of the longevity of the elderly Chen Jincai. It is not difficult for everyone to see that the personalities of the elderly Zhong Mingxian and Chen Jincai are very similar.
They were all helpful.
Helping others, in their eyes, is a matter of duty, and it does not feel like a burden at all. They don't expect others to reciprocate, so they have a good attitude and never feel that others owe them anything.
They are all optimistic.
The elderly Chen Jincai and the elderly Zhong Mingxian are very affinity, can get along with people, they do not read the past, do not fear the future, and strive to live every day of life.
They are all hard-working people who can't stay idle.
Chen Jincai and Zhong Mingxian both grew up in rich families, but they both developed the habit of self-reliance from an early age, and they were used to doing their own things and not tiring others. The flowing water is not corrupt, and the household center is not beetle. Their bodies are always active, which slows down the rate of aging.
We call centenarians "Renrui", they are the mascots of mankind, a symbol of a country's prosperity, strength, peace and tranquility. We wish these kind and beautiful old people, and we also hope that more people like Academician Zhong Nanshan will benefit the society and benefit us.
