On May 15, 1933, an article in Time magazine in the lighthouse country called "Tortoise-Pigeon-dog" reported his story and history, and Zhang Qingyun left the secret of his longevity to posterity: "Maintain a calm mind, sit like a turtle, walk like a bird, and sleep like a dog."

This is an online profile of a Qing Dynasty longevity.

From ancient times to the present day, there is no one who does not want to live a long life. There are also too many stories in history about emperors seeking immortals for the elixir of life. But most of the stories are fruitless. It may become involved in politics, or it may be involved in religion, or it will end up in nothing. In short, anything that has to do with longevity is always a mysterious mystery.

There is hardly any authoritative evidence to be found. Most of them are just legends or wild histories.

When Liu Qingming saw these reports, he always smiled faintly. In this world, it is the most correct thing to make a fortune in a muffled voice. Even a little money will become a thorn in someone's side, see how long the richest man on the Forbes rich list can die well. What's more, even the most powerful people in this land can't get a glimpse of the longevity of the doorway.

The king of Hades let the third watch die, who dares to keep people until the fifth watch.

Those who claim to the outside world how many years they have lived, ten out of ten are charlatans. Add a bit of divine aura to your street plaster-like fake medicine, or the three-legged cat's qigong. Just like the routine of those infertility hospitals in the early years, there is always a guy who seems to be an expert and is speaking technical terms that no one understands.

Today is Liu Qingming's 100th birthday. Although this birthday is not the same as on the ID card, Liu Qingming remembers it very clearly. Today is his birthday. After all, 100 years old is a very special day. When you put ordinary people in their homes, you have to set up a big table and sing a big show, and there will be a leader to come to offer condolences.

However, Liu Qingming only fried a few dishes by himself at home. There was no one to accompany him. Some loneliness, indeed some loneliness. He's used to it. It's not that he doesn't have friends, but he rarely has long-term contact with them. After all, you may not be able to see it in three or five years, but in ten or eight years, a person's appearance has not changed much, and it is a bit demonic. After all, under the fluorescent lights, those stars who don't know how much foundation they have put on can see some traces of time.

"Touch your waist, so coquettish, touch your legs, so much ......"

Liu Qingming's incomparably contemptuous mobile phone rang.

It's a bit jaw-dropping for a centenarian to pretend to be so obscene. However, Liu Qingming is used to it. He can be a powerful hero, or he can be an unknown young man.

In order to try to keep himself as unknown as possible, he is very bland most of the time. It's so bland that people almost can't remember his existence.

"Don't forget to come early in the evening, my colleague and her boyfriend also came, the one who works in the county government, he knows a lot of bosses, let him introduce you to some customers, hehe." A sly female voice came over the phone.

Liu Qingming was stunned and said, "Thank you, but I don't have to ......."

"Okay, okay, don't fake it, I know what you salesmen do. There are many ways to know more individuals, he works in the government, and the people who beg him to do things are much older. He said something casually, and people gave him some face back many times. You also saved such a hot day and rode a battery car on the street from house to house. I'm hanging, give me a punctual time at night, otherwise, I can't spare you, hum, you know"

Liu Qingming smiled bitterly and shook his head. Holding chopsticks and eating his own 'birthday banquet'.

He now works as a salesman in an advertising agency. In fact, it's just for show, and he is not short of money. Although, he didn't have an ID card and couldn't get a bank card. However, the gold and silver treasures he has accumulated over the years may be a little different from the rich people in Forbes if they are exchanged for cash, but they are still not far behind the local tycoons in this county. What's more, he has hundreds of thousands of cash in his cabinet alone. And, as long as he wants money, there are just too many ways.

The girl who called was Zhang Xiyao, his landlord, and both parents died in a car accident. The uncles and uncles divided up the money paid by the perpetrator, and they also wanted to beat her house. Fortunately, her family's two houses are in a state of demolition and have been frozen, and they cannot be transferred, let alone bought and sold. finally left her some money.

After Liu Qingming rented his house, he helped her do some hard work from time to time. Carry something, carry a gas canister, etc. After a long time, the two have become acquainted.

But he really didn't want to go, she had seen her colleague's boyfriend. Maybe the family has a little money and a little relationship, so I arranged for the county government to do chores. It is estimated that the leaders don't recognize him very much. But he dragged it like playing with 258, as if he was the secretary of the municipal party committee with his hands and eyes.

Don't say that the kid is not that capable, even if he does, he has nothing to worry about.

But Zhang Xiyao always felt that she had an obligation to help Liu Qingming, which made Liu Qingming smile bitterly every time.

The dinner was arranged at a newly opened restaurant in the city center. In recent years, the economy has developed rapidly, and everyone's living standards are quite good. I ate more, and the taste of the food was not much to pursue. When you go out to a banquet or something, most of them just look at a grade or something. Most of them choose newly renovated hotels. After a year or two, the hotel will either be renovated or left in the cold.

When Liu Qingming rode a small electric donkey and took Zhang Xiyao to the hotel, they hadn't arrived yet. Liu Qingming frowned, invited guests to dinner, and the guests arrived before the host, which was obviously rude to the host. And when Zhang Xiyao communicated with them on the phone just now, he said that they had arrived.

Now that Liu Qingming has arrived, as the masters, they actually said that it would take an hour to arrive, so let them find a place to wait there first.

This is obviously too much, under normal circumstances, turn around and leave, just don't eat this meal.

However, Zhang Xiyao did not show any dissatisfaction on her face. People are rolling in this world, and all kinds of insults and difficulties are inevitable. If you encounter something casually, you will be furious, this person is either strong enough to lose his temper with the people around him at will, and no one dares to provoke him. Either it's the kind of idiot who is so high that it's perverted. The former is generally not provoked by anyone, and not many people dare to let him lose his temper. Most of the latter have achieved nothing, or they are in the nest of relatives and friends. Either it's on the spur of the moment. However, most of them have achieved nothing.

But whoever can gain a little status, who doesn't have the ability to see their own position?

I don't have any skills, and I still want people to be uncles, and most of them can only fantasize in their hearts that they are uncles.

When you open your eyes, you are still in the air when relatives and friends gather. Are you angry and want to leave? Let's go, there is no shortage of waste that you eat and drink for nothing and don't help people at all.

After the death of her parents, Zhang Xiyao faced a lot. Not to mention such a trivial matter as a friend's missed appointment, even her own uncle and uncle, who seemed to be trustworthy since she was a child, were beating her poor family property. Not to mention the cold state of the world outside, although she didn't have much power to change this, she was used to smiling in front of her uncle and uncle. From time to time, I would bring some fruit to them, and I would clean them, wash their clothes, and so on.

Otherwise, why should she let a lonely girl fight with the elders of the family for life and death?

It's not interesting, what if you win, what if you lose. Back then, after her parents died, the sky fell, who went to seek justice for her father, and who went to take care of her father's funeral. A little girl in her third year of high school?

All she can do is not to sink in this rolling red dust. Use her pretty face to disgrace her late father's face. Although, that would make her life easier.

Night falls. The steps that were originally paved with brick-red sunset were now flashed by colorful neon lights.

Zhang Xiyao pulled Liu Qingming out to greet his colleagues who were late.

Her colleague's name is Zhao Ying, and they both now work in a jewelry store. Her boyfriend's name is He Liang, and his family is engaged in machinery manufacturing, and he spent money to arrange a position in the county government. There is also a young man who seems to be a friend of He Liang. They didn't introduce much, they only called 'Jiang Shao', looking at He Liang's obedience to him, he was obviously a character.

"I'm inviting you to dinner today, why are you still pulling someone" Zhao Ying frowned and whispered to Zhang Xiyao, and glanced at Liu Qingming coldly after speaking.

Zhang Xiyao smiled, "You let me be a light bulb every time, I have to find a male partner."

"Isn't this looking for you a male partner, this Jiang Shaoke is a big man. His father is the deputy county magistrate of our county, so you should take advantage of the opportunity. However, you bring a man over and let him think of you. I originally wanted to help you, look at you, how did you get it like this," Zhao Ying said with a muttered face.

Before Zhang Xiyao could refute, Jiang Shao stretched out his right hand at her.

"You are Xiyao, I heard Zhao Ying mention you, my name is Jiang Feng, it's a pleasure to meet you"

Zhang Xiyao shook hands with him politely.

I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional, Jiang Feng skipped Liu Qingming. It's like there's no such thing as him.

This meal is obviously that Zhao Ying and He Liang are pulling Jiang Feng's strings. Although, with Jiang Feng's family background, it is impossible to marry a girl like Zhang Xiyao who has a dead father and mother, and a girl who has no capital. However, playing doesn't get in the way. Like He Liang, who was itching in his heart for Zhang Xiyao, if it weren't for Zhao Ying in front of him, he would have stretched out his hand a long time ago. However, when Jiang Feng was playing with He Liang a few days ago, he glanced at Zhang Xiyao from a distance, and his heart was like grass.

The woman Jiang Feng fell in love with, borrowing He Liang's guts, he didn't dare to covet it anymore.

However, the center of this table is obviously Zhang Xiyao. Zhang Xiyao also expressed his attitude to Jiang Feng openly and secretly. Jiang Feng seems to have become a humble gentleman, affectionate and polite. It's very good. There is no feeling of being aggressive and oppressive to many second-generation officials chasing girls. made Zhao Ying a little excited, and from time to time took advantage of He Liang's inattention to give Jiang Feng a wink.

Zhang Xiyao introduced the topic to Liu Qingming in a timely manner.

"Jiang Shao, this is my boyfriend Liu Qingming, he is doing business now, you will help me a lot in the future"

Boyfriend? The smiling muscles at the corner of Jiang Feng's mouth suddenly trembled, this little girl really doesn't give face. Still, he maintained his demeanor.

"What kind of business is Brother Liu doing, tell me and listen, if I can help, with Xiyao's face, no matter how difficult it is, I will take action." A beautiful girl like Xiyao has to be supported with money, and she can't do it without money. ”

Jiang Feng's words were actually a bit intense, and his attitude was too clear. Zhang Xiyao couldn't help frowning.

"Jiang Tianming's son, right?" Liu Qingming smiled slightly, "Your father is still a clean official, I heard your father mention you"

Jiang Feng raised his eyebrows, and his face turned red. He Liang seemed to be drinking water, and squirted out the water in his mouth at once. Tianming and the two glanced at each other, and their faces were full of that kind of angry and smiling expression.

Ah, this is too good to blow, right? Know his father Jiang Tianming? This is also too fucking pretending, and the tone seems to be arguing with his father's peers.

I've seen bragging, but I've never seen someone who can brag like this. I've never seen such unabashed bragging.

Even if you want to save your girlfriend, you can't be so swollen and fat. I'm not afraid of embarrassing myself in front of my girlfriend.

Even Zhang Xiyao's face was flushed, this guy was too capable of rushing. is still boasting about knowing his father in front of other people's sons, how can he get off the stage now?
