old person

In 1933, Time Magazine and obituaries New York Times reports that at the age of 256 years died Li Ching-Yun, who had already buried 23 wives and 180 trained heirs . It was he really so old and tried to figure out Environmental Graffiti. The secret of youth, Li Ching-Yun was the fact that he always kept the peace of mind, while his diet consisted of rice and wine. About childhood and adolescence Lee Ching-Yuen survived little information. It is known that he was born in Sichuan Province in China, where he lived until his death. By age 10 Ching-Yun was educated enough, Lee has already visited Kang-soo, Shanxi, Tibet, Annam, Siam and Manchuria, where he was collecting various herbs. Then the story of his life is lost ... At the age of 256 years, Lee was quite cheerful and looked like a typical 60-year-old man. This fact casts doubt on his age. As Lee himself said, he was born in 1736 and lived for 197 years. However, in 1930, Wu Chung-shin, a professor and dean of the University Minkuo, found records confirming that Li was born in 1677, and that the Imperial Chinese Government congratulated him on his 150th and 200th anniversaries. Is it possible to forget your birth date or had a different Li Ching-Yun. For a long time the oldest person on the ground was considered Jeanne-Louise Calment, whose age was considered phenomenal - she was 122 years old. She lived in France and died in 1997. This means that if the records have been found by Wu Chung-Shin are correct, then the age of Li Ching-Yun age exceeds the officially registered more than 130 years. From the history of the Li Ching-Yun fiction, and we can only guess.
