256 Years Old Man Breaks The Silence Before His Death And Reveals SHOCKING Secrets To The World
What is the longest a person has
ever lived for? Meet Li Ching Yuen, a man who lived an astonishing 256
years! And no, this is not a myth or a fictional tale.
According to a 1930 New York Times article, Wu Chung-chieh, a professor of the Chengdu University, discovered Imperial Chinese government records from 1827 congratulating Li Ching-Yuen on his 150th birthday, and further documents later congratulating him on his 200th birthday in 1877. In 1928, a New York Times correspondent
wrote that many of the old men in Li’s neighborhood asserted that their
grandfathers knew him when they were boys, and that he at that time was
a grown man.
Li Ching Yuen reportedly began his
herbalist career at the age of 10, where he gathered herbs in mountain
ranges and learned of their potency for longevity. For almost 40 years,
he survived on a diet of herbs such as lingzhi, goji berry, wild
ginseng, he shoo wu and gotu kola and rice wine. In 1749, at the age of
71, he joined the Chinese armies as teacher of martial arts. Li was
said to be a much-loved figure in his community, marrying 23 times and
fathering over 200 children.
According to the generally accepted tales
told in his province, Li was able to read and write as a child, and by
his tenth birthday had traveled in Kansu, Shansi, Tibet, Annam, Siam and
Manchuria gathering herbs. For the first hundred years he continued at
this occupation. Then he switched to selling herbs gathered by others.
He sold lingzhi, goji berry, wild ginseng, he shou wu and gotu kola along with other Chinese herbs, and lived off a diet of these herbs and rice wine.
He Wasn’t The Only One
According to one of Li’s disciples, he had
once encountered an even older 500-year-old man, who taught him Qigong
exercises and dietary recommendations that would help him extend his
lifespan to superhuman proportions. Apart from Qigong and a herb-rich
diet, what else can we learn from this Master of Longevity?
How about this: On his death bed, Li
famously said, “I have done all that I have to do in this world”. Could
his peaceful last words also hint at one of the biggest secrets to a
long and prosperous life? It’s interesting to note that in the West,
we’re often taught to believe that aging is something that must be
“beaten” with high tech infrared devices and state of the art
medication.
His Secret To Long Health:
Li was asked what his secret was to
longevity. This was his reply: “Keep a quiet heart, sit like a tortoise,
walk sprightly like a pigeon and sleep like a dog.” These were the
words of advice Li gave to Wu Pei-fu, the warlord, who took Li into his
house to learn the secret of extremely long life.
Li maintained that inward calm and peace
of mind combined with breathing techniques were the secrets to
incredible longevity. Obviously, his diet would have played a large
role. But its fascinating that the old living person in recorded history
attributes his long life to his state of mind.
Why Is This So Hard To Believe?
With the average lifespan for the Western
world currently sitting between 70-85 years, the thought of someone
living over 100 years old seems like quite the stretch. The thought of
someone living over 200 years old seems extremely suspicious. But why
don’t we believe that people can live this long?
We have to keep in mind that some people
in this world don’t live a grueling 9-5 lifestyle, they don’t have to
deal with the stresses of debt, they aren’t breathing polluted city air,
and they exercise regularly. They don’t eat refined sugars or flour, or
any foods that have had pesticides sprayed on them. They aren’t living
off of the standard American diet.
They aren’t eating fatty meats, sugary
deserts, and genetically modified foods. No antibiotics. No alcohol and
no tobacco. Their diets not only exclude junk foods that we so often
indulge in, they also include superfoods and herbs which are like
steroids for our organs and immune system.
They also spend their spare time in nature
practicing breathing techniques and meditating which have been proven
to improve mental, physical, and emotional health. They keep things
simple, get proper sleep, and spend a great deal of time in nature under
the sun. When we get a chance to relax in the sun, we feel instantly
rejuvenated and call this a “vacation”. Imagine spending a lifetime
doing that in the mountains, and combining that with perfect mental,
spiritual, and physical well-being.
I do not doubt for a minute that if we all
did the things we knew we were supposed to do, that living to be 100
years old would be commonplace. When we treat our bodies right, who
knows how long we can live for?
