Chapter 916: Beyond Life

Beyond Life Zhang Baotong 2018.9.10

The most helpless thing in life is to transcend life. There is a limit to everyone's life, whether it is 70 years old or 80 years old, or even 90 or 100 years old. But who of us doesn't want to live to be 120 or 150 years old? In order to go beyond the limits of life, many scientists have done many experiments to raise human life to 120 or even 150 years.

In the 80s of the last century, some scientists in the United States did experiments with hormones, they experimented on 70-80-year-old people and gave them regular injections of a certain hormone. At first, after the hormone injection, the elderly will immediately feel refreshed, their strength will increase, and they will look much younger. However, after a period of experimentation, scientists have found that although these hormones will make the elderly young and strong, this effect will slowly decrease, and it will also cause dependence. Therefore, this experiment ended in failure.

This is arguably the most encouraging experiment to date, and the most remarkable achievement of humanity in its efforts to transcend the limits of life. However, this experiment has also frustrated humanity because the road seems to be a dead end, with a bleak future and huge side effects. Moreover, it allows humans to see clearly that any artificial way of inflicting on humans seems to cause some kind of serious harm to life. So, in this realm beyond life, there is not yet a single artificially imposed method that has been declared scientifically valid. However, no matter how far science has progressed in prolonging life, people are always consciously or unconsciously and happily pursuing the transcendence of life.

It is known that health contributes to the extension of life. And the main factors of physical health are diet and mood. A well-known Nobel laureate in biology claims that 25% of a person's lifespan depends on diet, 50% on mood, and another 25% on genetics or other factors.

In terms of diet, the Japanese diet can be said to be the most reasonable diet for human beings, and it has been praised by the United Nations in recent years. This is the basic guarantee of the lean body and the longest life of the Japanese. The daily diet of the Japanese is to use a small plate with a small lump of rice, a few vegetables, and very small amounts of seafood and meat. For both adults and children, that's all for every meal. The nutrition is not bad, but the amount of food is a little less for most Chinese. Because the amount of food eaten by Chinese is generally much larger than this.

As for taking supplements and supplements to enhance your health, that's probably the most ridiculous thing to do. Bird's nest, milk powder, Amway and other nutritional products are regarded as high-end nutritional products, but how many of those who live a long life have drunk these nutritional supplements? These items may be considered the most expensive, but they are not the best. The best nutrition products should be clean air, food, and water. And all of this doesn't cost a lot of money.

When it comes to beverages, I am afraid there is nothing better than Chinese cold boiled water. Including tea, mineral water, and steamed water are not as good as cold boiled water. Other beverages are not only not good for the body, but are harmful. Including milk tea, soda, coffee, cola, etc., are all harmful to the body. Some people say that drinking some wine every day is good for health, because wine contains certain anthocyanins, which promote blood circulation, prevent cholesterol increase, have diuretic effects, stimulate liver function, and prevent aging. In fact, this is just a way for foreigners to deceive the Chinese. In fact, drinking grape sprinkles does not have any substantial health effect.

Being in a good mood is seen as the secret of longevity and will not be doubted by anyone. People say that a high position is not as good as a high salary, a high salary is not as good as a high life, and a high life is not as good as happiness. Some people can become big officials and earn a lot of money, so is it not necessarily true that they will live happily? You don't need a lot of money to be in a good mood, and you don't need to be a big official. As long as there is sunshine, rain and dew, friends, relatives, and basic life, you can have a good mood.

A good mood can be described as joyful and moderate, and honor and disgrace are not shocked. Therefore, do not spend all your time drinking and having fun. There are also laws of the Mandate of Heaven, that is, when there is, there is it, and there is no need to force it. God may allow you to have a treasury full of gold and silver, and a group of wives and concubines, but it will not allow you to indulge in indulgence and enjoy all the blessings, otherwise, it will make you lose your life expectancy and get sick, and cause trouble. Although there is no shortage of delicious food and big fish and meat in life nowadays, in order to be healthy and modest, you must live a normal life with coarse tea and light food. A healthy good mood is a calm, ordinary state of mind. It is like the peace and poetry of "picking chrysanthemums under the east fence and leisurely looking at Nanshan". There are many romantic, beautiful and suspenseful stories and plots in the movie, which can only be enjoyed and entertained, but not pursued and emulated. And getting rich overnight and hugging a beauty is easy to make people indulge in indulgence and be happy and sad. So, it's not the good mood we're after.

In this way, there is no way to transcend life now, and the only way is to extend our lifespan. And the way to prolong life is not to take in and enjoy more resources, but to live an ordinary life. And excessive desire and excessive demand can only increase the body's overdraft and the burden on health. There is no one who spends all his life drunk and dreams of death, and none of them is not short-lived.

Some people may regard marrying a young beauty as a transcendence of life, because being with a young beauty will make him feel young again, and life seems to have entered a second spring. In fact, this is not the transcendence of life, but a kind of drunken dream death of "peony flowers die, and ghosts are also romantic". Back then, Mr. Kang Youwei, who was in his 60s, fell in love with an 18-year-old beautiful girl and married her, but he died within a few days. And the same is true of Mr. Qi Baishi, who was in his 70s and fell in love with a 24-year-old nurse, but he didn't enjoy a few days of happiness and passed away in a hurry. Swift, the author of "Gulliver's Travels", once shouted to the elderly that "don't marry young women". Because when people reach old age, if life enters the autumn and winter season, at this time, the autumn wind is bleak, and the cold winter has arrived, it is not appropriate to have a sweet dream of spring.

There is also a way that many people see as transcending life, that is, the years are like songs, the years are like water, time is not waiting, and the day is seized. This kind of thing mostly happens in scientific research, artistic creation, technological innovation and engineering progress. In order to achieve research and creative results as soon as possible and complete the progress of the project, people worked overtime day and night. Originally, people worked seven or eight hours a day, but they worked more than ten hours a day, and used one day as two days, so that they greatly exceeded others in terms of work time. However, while this results in faster research, creation, and engineering, it often leads to untimely death due to overwork and overwork. For example, Huang Danian, the chief designer of the Liaoning ship, Sun Dedi, CEO of NetEase, Teresa Teng, Taiwanese singer, and Chen Jingrun, a famous mathematician, are like this. It's a shame that they left too soon.

Life will always age, and this is the main reason why life is difficult to surpass. Many scientists have tried to find cells in stem cells that can repair living organs, but have been unsuccessful. We can't expect scientists to bring us the miracle of longevity, it is very difficult to go beyond the limit of life, so we can only go beyond the meaning of life, and we can only live a healthy and happy life in a limited life, and live a worthwhile and meaningful life.

In fact, the life expectancy of modern people has been increasing, in the early days of liberation, the average life expectancy of Chinese was more than 40 years, but now the average life expectancy of Chinese has reached 76 years, of which the average life expectancy of Hong Kong men and Shanghai women has reached 86 years. This is how life is constantly pushing its limits. This transcendence is slow, but one day, the life expectancy of a person will reach 120 or 150 years.
