If you retire at 65, how many years do you think you can get a pension, 10, 20 or 30 years? The last option is probably something that many people don't dare to imagine, because you need to live to be 95 years old to receive a 30-year pension.
However, there is an old man in Japan who easily achieved the goal of receiving a 30-year pension, and it is greatly exceeded, and he actually received a 51-year pension when he retired at the age of 65.
Yes, he is the Guinness-certified "world's longest-lived male" Jiro Kimura Right Guard, lived 116 years and 54 days, he set a record for male longevity, so far no one has broken, even if the female birthday stars are counted, he can also rank 18th.
You know, the average life expectancy of men is 5 to 10 years shorter than that of women, and it is not easy for Jiro Kimura to live to the age of 116 as a man.
Jiro Kimura has a long life of nearly two koshi, what is the secret to his longevity? Are these secrets worth learning from contemporaries?
On March 19, 1897, Jiro Kimura was born in Kyoto, Japan.
Since 1955, a month after government officials misrecorded his birthday, his official year of birth became April 19, 1897.
So in fact, he died on June 12, 2013, and he lived 116 years and 85 days, not 116 years and 54 days. But the one-month gap was simply insignificant compared to his long life at the age of 116.
When Jiro Kimura was born, Japan was still in the Meiji era, and when he died in 2013, Japan had entered the Heisei era, so he experienced four emperors: Meiji, Taisho, Showa, and Heisei.
Everyone knows that Japan's change of prime minister is very diligent, and in Kimura Jiro's life, he has experienced a total of 61 prime ministers.
On April 19, 2013, kimura's 116th birthday, then-prime minister Shinzo Abe sent a special blessing.
However, Prime Minister Abe's blessing obviously did not work, or played a "counterproductive effect", and less than a month after the blessing was issued, Kimura was hospitalized with pneumonia, and another month later, the treatment was ineffective and died.
From this point of view, Prime Minister Abe should not send a blessing, but a "hypnotic.". Of course, this is just a joke, Kimura Jiro Right Guard gate was eventually determined to die of old age, and it is not unexpected that someone of his age died at any time.
Kimura, who was born in 1897, is also considered a post-90s generation, but his post-90s are in the 19th century. There are many Chinese celebrities born in the same year as him, such as Xu Zhimo, who is only two months older than him, but Xu Zhimo died in 1931, and Jiro Kimura lived until 2013.
But Xu Zhimo died in an accident, if not, from the perspective of his son Xu Jikai's 103-year-old life, he should be able to live a long life.
Jiro Kimura's name was originally Kanejiro Miyake, and Kimura was a surname he changed after his marriage. Unlike most men who marry their wives, Kimura is a rich man, and his wife is his neighbor, called Kimura Yae.
Japan has a requirement for husband and wife to maintain a surname, as a son-in-law, Miyake Kanejiro of course wants to "follow his wife's surname", but he does not know why, he not only changed his surname, but also changed his name.
Kimura Yae is not as good a blessing as her husband, born in 1904, she only lived until 1978 and died, 74 years of life is not short, but it is difficult to call longevity.
With the same eating habits and the same living environment, Jiro Kimura can live to be 116 years old, and why does his wife Kimura Yae only live 74? The specific reasons are not known, but one thing is worth considering: Kimura Yae has had a total of 8 births.
Childbirth has a great devastation to women, Kimura Yae has given birth to 8 children, I don't know if this is the reason why she did not live as long as her husband?
Seven of the Kimura family's 8 children have grown up, and they all have their own offspring. As of his death in 2013, Five of Kimura's children were still alive, in addition to 14 grandchildren, 25 great-grandchildren, and 14 grandchildren.
There are grandchildren who count as "three generations in the same hall", and there are great-grandchildren who are "four generations in the same hall", and when Jiro Kimura died, he already had 14 grandchildren, so he counted as "five generations in the same hall", which is extremely rare in ancient and modern China and abroad.
Some people say that longevity is a blessing, and some people say that longevity is not a blessing, because the long-lived old man is likely to encounter the tragedy of life of "white-haired people sending black-haired people", and this kind of tragedy, Kimura Jiro Right Guard Gate has suffered more than once.
Even if it is not the child who died prematurely, Kimura has sent two children away, and more tragically, his eldest grandson has a short life and walks ahead of his grandfather.
Therefore, in his later years, Kimura was once cared for by the eldest daughter-in-law (the widow of the eldest son), and when the eldest daughter-in-law in her 80s died, she was cared for by the eldest granddaughter-in-law (the widow of the eldest grandson) who was close to 60 years old.
Fortunately, Kimura did not live longer, otherwise if the granddaughter-in-law was "killed" and it was the turn of the great-granddaughter-in-law to take care of it, it would be too sad.
Jiro Kimura became a big celebrity only because he lived long enough, before that, he was just an obscure little person, and his life, although long, was very simple.
In 1917, at the age of 20, Kimura got a job at a post office and has been working in the postal system for 45 years, which is really typical of Japanese: working in one unit until he is old.
In 1920, Kimura was sent to the Korean Peninsula by his unit, which was still under Japanese colonial rule. A few years later, he returned from North Korea, married his neighbor Kimura Yae, and then had children in both of them, living the ordinary life of being able to see his head at a glance.
In 1962, at the age of 65, Kimura reached retirement age, when Japan was in the post-war economic boom era, and the pension was still sufficient, but Kimura did not take the pension to eat and die like most of his colleagues, but took his wife to the countryside to farm.
Probably because there has always been a "pastoral dream" in his heart, in the countryside, Kimura lived a very moist life, although farming is very tired, he feels very happy, so until the age of 90 really can not farm, only honestly return to the eldest son's home to accept the support of posterity.
On October 16, 2007, Jiro Kimura, who was already 110 years old, was first included in the Guinness Book of Fame list as a "Superman", and it was from that year that he gained some fame.
As time went by, Kimura's ranking on the longevity list grew higher and higher, and his fame grew.
On April 14, 2011, Kimura replaced American Walter At the age of nearly 114. Brunin became the world's longest-lived male, and became popular all over the world.
On December 17, 2012, with the 115-year-old Italian-American actress Dina. After the death of Manfredini, Jiro Kimura also won the record of "the world's longest-lived person", this world record is generally obtained by female birthday stars, Kimura as a man to get this honor, it is very rare.
As the first man in history to live past the age of 116 undisputed, what is the secret of Kimura Jiro's longevity? He had already been asked this question a thousand and eight hundred times, but unlike other longevity elders who were keen to share longevity secrets, Kimura had always insisted that he did not have longevity secrets.
However, there must be a reason why a person can live so long, and the easiest thing to think of is the longevity gene, and this is exactly what Kimura has.
Kimura has many siblings, four of whom lived past the age of 90 and one of whom was over 100 years old. Brothers and sisters can live so long, doesn't this show that his family has longevity genes?
Unfortunately, kimura Jiro's eldest son and eldest grandson obviously did not inherit his longevity genes, and as for the remaining children, they are very promising, after all, when Kimura died, the youngest of the five surviving children should also be more than seventy years old.
In addition to longevity genes, Kimura's diet is also worth paying attention to. After becoming famous, he was often interviewed by the media, and his daily life was also unobstructed in front of the world.
Like most Japanese, Kimura's diet is very light, with his favorite foods being rice, red bean cake and grilled fish. Kimura says he only eats 80% of his meals and is never picky about eating, eating whatever he wants.
Until the age of 114, Kimura had been adhering to a regular three-meal a day, and after that, due to physical reasons, he could no longer maintain a regular diet, but he still insisted on eating several more meals a day.
From the age of 20, when he worked at the post office, Kimura maintained the habit of getting up early, and until the age of 110, he still insisted on getting up at 5:30 a.m. every morning. After the age of 114, Kimura's physical functions deteriorated and he could not walk on the ground, so he spent the last two years of his life basically in bed.
From his retirement in 1962 to his death in 2013, Kimura received a pension for a total of 51 years, and it goes without saying that the social security he paid during his work must have been returned long ago.
But how many people are as lucky as he is? If there is no longevity gene, if there is no good living habits, let alone 51 years of pension, I am afraid that 20 years is enough to choke.
After Jiro Kimura's death in 2013, no more men have lived to be 116 years old. Although male birthday stars who lived 120 years or more are often exposed around the world, they cannot invariably produce reliable birth certificates, so to this day, Guinness still lists Jiro Kimura as the "longest-lived male ever".
The ultimate life expectancy of human beings is about 120 years old, and I believe that in the near future, Kimura Jiro's record of right-hand gate will definitely be broken by a lucky man, but I don't know who will spend this blessing? Could it be a Chinese?
