In the third year of the lunar new year, Yuan Yufeng and Guo Huijuan spent two years together with their 103 years old. Just before the end of the year, the old couple got the certificate of the third China's ten centenarians.

two old men of same age live together for 76 years,
in an antique tile house, the reporter saw Guo Huijuan old life star. She was short, wearing an old-fashioned lady's suit and small feet, acting freely and peacefully. When she saw the reporter coming, she stood up and gave up her seat. The reporter quickly asked her to sit on the cane chair. The reporter asked her, "how old are you, old man?" She replied immediately, "103 (a year of age)!"
according to Yuan Yiping, the son of the old man, father Yuan Yufeng was born in the 3th day of the first month of the Chinese lunar calendar 1912 and mother Guo Huijuan's birthday is the 1th day of the fourth month of the Chinese lunar calendar. Two people have been married for 76 years to love each other, and to live in harmony and happiness. The couple have one son, two daughters, one family nearly 30 people, four generations together.
today, Yuan Yufeng's health is not as good as his old companion, and now he is lying in bed most of the time, with a stroke of half body; his wife, Hui Juan, is a good body and can often walk around home, but the two people are in a good state of mind. Yuan Yiping, the reason why father can become a centenarians, and the careful care of the mother can not be separated, "the father was not very good at the age of more than 20, often sick, thanks to the mother care. When I was more than 50 years old, my father retired early because of physical reasons. By the time he was 70 years old, his father's illness gradually decreased. " The third year of the new year is their seventy-sixth years together, and their 103rd spring and autumn years in the world.
daughter-in-law Li Mingxia said, "in character, they are always optimistic and friendly. The most important thing is that they have a very regular life. In the past few decades, they get up around 6 in the morning, then go for a walk in the yard, and then eat breakfast, after breakfast, I read the newspaper for them to listen to them, sleep at the black day, sometimes watch TV news, and go to bed after watching TV. "
in daily life, Yuan Yufeng often chooses to stay away from things and does not like to ask more questions. But Guo Huijuan always seems to be free. The son said, "the old mother likes to worry about it. "What do you cook at home in the new year?" In the process of reporter's interview, Guo Lao kept on with reporters.
scholarly family
Yuan Yufeng's father is the late Qing Dynasty scholar
the four generation of the family came out of 5 teachers
"gentleman shelf big!" "The general's doorsill is high!" One to one answer is full of wit and laughter. No one else was laughing. Chen Yi, who was the leader of the war of resistance against Japan in Wuqiao, and Yuan Yufeng's father Yuan Shouzhen. Yuan Shouzhen, the word "South Bin", "Hong Fei", was born in a common family in Wuqiao in 1881. He was intelligent and took part in the imperial examination at the age of 18 and became the last scholar of the Qing Dynasty.
"because grandpa was very knowledgeable, Peking University invited him to be a professor that year, but he refused with the help of his children and grandchildren." And Yuan Yiping was proud that when Comrade Chen Yi was in Wuqiao, he often joined Yuan Shouzhen and another local scholar, Lu Guanlan, to recite poetry together, to express his feelings and to become a local talk. In
1936, Yuan Yufeng graduated from Yangzhou College of Chinese studies. He thought again and again, and decided to "return home to teach". Yuan Yufeng has established 3 schools, such as evolutionary primary school, big Yuan primary school and Xiao Yuan primary school. It also takes the class in person and takes on many grades of Chinese and mathematics teachers. In the same way, Guo Huijuan is also a family of books.
from Yuan Shouzhen to Yuan Yufeng, then to Yuan Yiping, then to Yuan Yiping's daughter and son-in-law, 5 of the four generation are teachers. Yuan Yiping was a peer of the Republic. He became a teacher in Wuqiao primary school at the age of 23. What makes Yuan Yiping happy is that, despite his retirement, the "family business" is a successor, the daughter and the son-in-law are teachers, one teaching mathematics, and one teaching computer. Reporters saw that the yuan family hall house hanging on the wall of Yuan Yufeng when he was 96 years old to write a large couplet. Among them, "the sea is the Dragon world, the cloud is crane home", the sentence is simple, thick and powerful, expressing the old man's clean and leisurely attitude.

"Over the past year, parents have been sleeping for a long time because of their high age, and they are not fixed. Yuan Yiping said that the old man often sleeps in the daytime, and when he wakes up in the evening, hungry, he has to get up and prepare for the old man to eat. Yuan Yufeng was physically weak when he was young. He was 54 years old and retired from home because of illness. Yuan Yiping, who was still studying, was studying to take care of his father. In recent years, Yuan Yiping has hardly slept through the night.
compared with her father, Guo Huijuan's body is still hard, but his eyesight is not good. The old lady likes to read the newspaper. Yuan Yiping sits beside her and reads it to her word for word. What the parents want to eat, wife Li Mingxia immediately goes to the vegetable farm to buy; on holidays, she has to make new shoes for the elders herself. Under the careful care of him and his wife, two centenarians are still in good health, and Yuan Yiping has been named "the ten filial star" in Yangzhou.
