Chen Lifu went through ups and downs in his life, but he lived a long and healthy life at the age of 102. There are indeed some ways to maintain good health. What is it? Follow me to find out.

Chen Lifu said that his way of longevity is divided into four "old", ***32 words: "Laojian: nourishing the body is in movement, nourishing the mind in tranquility; Wife: love what you have in common and respect what you are different from; old friend: treat each other with sincerity and courtesy; old friend: take it in a proper way and use it in a measured way. ”

Chen Lifu’s health-preserving philosophy. The method is to be old and healthy

Being old and not healthy is unhappy, so staying healthy is the most important thing. Let me give you eight words: "To nourish the body is in movement, to nourish the mind is in tranquility."

The ancients said: "The door hinge is not beetrooted, and the running water is not rotten." Because it is constantly moving. The same is true for the human body. Hyperactivity makes the blood flow and improves health. The reason is easy to understand. Everyone knows what their physical shortcomings are, so they need to do more exercise in this area. As soon as I get up at 5:30 every morning, I have to take a shower. When I shower, I massage wherever the water hits, from the top of my head to the soles of my feet, using both hands to massage each place 100 times. One massage takes 40 minutes. , it takes about 1 hour to even wash your face and wipe your teeth. After breakfast, take another 1,000-step walk. I have been doing this for 28 years without a day off. The most important thing is to persevere. This is the so-called "nurturing the body in motion".

Keep your mind in peace. The first thing is not to lose your temper, not to seek troubles, and to be content and happy. I have served with Mr. Chiang for 25 years and have never made any demands from him, so I am always happy. He asked me to do this or that, and I tried my best to do it. If I couldn't do it well, it was not my fault because I was studying mining engineering. Therefore, the mind is always at peace, so sleep is very good, and the mind is not tired or wandering. This is called "nurturing the mind in tranquility".

Chen Lifu’s method of maintaining health, wife

Chinese people’s concept of husband and wife is different from that of modern Americans. They want to “grow old together”. Therefore, we must choose carefully from the beginning and be harmonious to the end. However, how to achieve the two words of "harmony" must be done as follows: "Love what is the same and respect what is different." It should be noted that there are no two identical people in the world, even brothers and sisters, they are all different. To force someone to be the same as me is to be selfish. Selfishness is the main cause of quarrels and the enemy of "my wife". So as long as they are roughly the same, and you don’t have to ask the other person to be the same as me, then you will get it. How to achieve a world of great harmony depends on the eight words mentioned above. The principles of getting along with each other, between countries, between families, and between people are the same. My wife and I have been married for 63 years and have never had a quarrel, just because of the eight words above. A harmonious couple has a great influence on the next generation. It seems that our children and grandchildren have not heard of any problems. These eight characters were created by me and are for your reference only.

Chen Lifu’s method of maintaining health, old friends

People cannot be ignorant and ignorant. Friends who are straightforward, forgiving and well-informed are good friends that everyone should make. People in the past said, "The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water." The purpose of making friends is not to be acquaintances of flesh and blood, but to be friends of morality and justice. In order to maintain a long-term friendship, there are eight words for everyone's reference: "Meet each other with sincerity and treat each other with courtesy."
