when the New Year bell rings in the year of the chicken, Chen Yazhen old man ushered in the age of 108, the ninth year of his life. After the centenary of
Sun Pengbiao, Secretary General of the Shanghai Geriatric Society, told reporters that in Shanghai centenarians, three elderly people were easily crossed over 108 years old, and this year, the Shanghai native Chen Yazhen, born in Shanghai, became the "first sister of the chicken".
put on the Tang costume for the new year
Jinshan native, Chen Yazhen lives in Jinshan Town, Zhu Jing Town, second home for the aged. Under the warm winter sun, Chen Yazhen, 108 years old, sat on a cane chair. In order to greet the coming new year, the home for the aged bought the Tang suit for the old man. Wearing new clothes, Chen Yazhen said with a happy face, "it feels like being a bride." When the camera was pointing at her, she was slightly nervous and embarrassed. "Grandma, smile." Chen Yazhen revealed only one remaining tooth, with a kind and kindly face. "Click", a smiling face that is pure and simple, is frozen in the picture. The owner of this smiling face is already 108 years old, crossing the limit of time that most people can not reach.
no matter how old Chen Yazhen is, no one will think of it as a centenarians. Although the old man's face was wrinkled, his complexion was very good, and his voice was still crisp and clear as he spoke. To my surprise, Chen Yazhen took up the charts of the centenarians' birthday charts and studied them carefully without wearing glasses. "Grandma, the oldest birthday star in Shanghai is four years older than you, 112 years old." On the side, Sun Pengbiao, Secretary General of the Geriatrics Society, introduced her eldest brother elder sister to the old man. "No, it's 110 years old." Chen Yazhen pointed to the numbers on the booklet and hurried to correct it.
live a quiet life
in the interview process, all the time to feel the air on the old man Chen Yazhen, with the word "quiet" to describe the best, a time after the time after the quiet good. Chen Yazhen said: "no matter what kind of environment we are in and what kind of human nature we are facing, we must maintain the breadth and tranquility of our inner world."
now, Chen Yazhen lived a quiet life like this: sleeping at six or seven in the evening and getting up at half past six in the morning, washing his face, brushing his teeth and combing his hair. She always dressed herself cleanly and cleanly. She never stays in bed after dinner, but always sits on a cane chair to repose and breathe fresh air.
old people also like to "move" - walk around every day. Even though she could walk herself, the service staff always helped her to avoid it. Hu Guihua, a waitress who had taken care of her, said, "considering that the old man has been a hundred years old, he always wants to help her more in life, but the hands-on old man always sticks to himself." She has a mantra: "let me do it myself. People will rust if they do not move." The staff of the nursing home said: when the old man is 105 years old, he can still dress himself and quilt, and he is full of spirit. Now 108 years old, life is basically self-care.
the old man's mentality is very good, very optimistic, even with a sense of humor. The evaluation of the elderly in the home for the aged is that she is very good tempered, optimistic, not impetuous, treats others enthusiastically, and has a contented mind. What she says in her mouth is always a compliment, and she never felt excited or dissatisfied.
although there is only one tooth, Chen Yazhen eats everything. The president of the second elderly home in Jinshan Zhu Jing told the reporter that the centenarians in the old home were only 108 years old, but Chen Yazhen, like the old people in the old courtyard, did not avoid the food and loved prawns most.
the old man is not alone
the old man is a lonely old man, but she is not alone. More than 100 old people in the welfare home have become her family since she was in the old home. Chen Yazhen, a 81 year old distant relative, said that she was a young lady at home, and her father was a doctor.
the old man has nothing else. He has rheumatoid arthritis for several years, but usually he does not take any medicine.
the elderly have been admitted to the nursing home in 2006, so far eleven years ago. A staff member of the nursing home said, "when I came, the old man was 98 years old. After ten years, she still had no change." The nursing staff have to sit the old man in a wheelchair every day, push her into the aisle of the old home, the shade of the tree, the fitness equipment, and chat with the other old people and exchange their feelings.
100 year old "chicken brother" stocks for decades
"chicken one sister" Chen Yazhen also has a hundred year old "chicken younger brother" and "chicken sister".
"chicken sister" quarter's life is very regular: she gets up at 4 and 5 in the morning, starts at dawn, and sleeps in the dark at dusk. Usually eat lightly, plain oil is not put, long time old longevity is this habit. The elderly's neighbours are "very thorough", willing to help others, caring for neighbors and helping each other with farm work. The woman has a cure for the blister: people keep looking for her; she is treated with waist and shoulder pain and cold, so she is respected. People say good people have a good report, so she lives long.
"chicken brother" Xu Renqing lives in Xuhui and was born in January 25, 1910. He likes quiet and free, which is why he chooses to live alone. It is worth mentioning that the old people have been frying stocks for decades, perhaps the oldest shareholder in Shanghai. Can the centenarians make a profit in the stock market? The old man said frankly: his son said well, he did not care about winning or losing. As long as he was happy, losing money was also a good thing, so that he could exercise his brain in his care and prolong his life.
the old man likes eggs, mainly vegetarian food, and meat and meat as a supplement. If you eat too much vegetables, you will get some pig claws and hoof and so on. The old man knows how to maintain, and the first thing to do every day is to drink a cup of warm water, supplement the moisture of the night, creep in the intestines, and promote metabolism.
