Li Qingyun was born in Kangxi in 16 years, a native of Sichuan, and his profession was an old Chinese medicine practitioner in the Qing Dynasty. It is said that he lived until mid-May of 1933 before he died. 256 years old, so he is called the longest living person in history. The idea of ​​living to 256 years of age is indeed questioned by people nowadays, not to mention the ancient times when medical skills were backward. People at that time were not satisfactory due to various sanitary conditions, food, environment, medical treatment, etc., so the general life span was very long. Short, and Li Qingyun can live to over 250 years old, it can be described as "growth against the sky". But what is interesting is that according to historical records, he was specially rewarded by the court at the time when he was one hundred years old, and he became even more famous when he was two hundred years old. Even then Li Qingyun was invited to the whole country. During the lectures from various places, some foreign scholars came here to exchange their experiences with them.

Later, the warlord mentioned Li Qingyun’s old age to his big boss, and hired him to teach in various towns and towns to teach longevity, and then he was published as a celebrity of longevity. Perhaps this warlord wanted to shoot the big boss. Flattering, only deliberately said Li Qingyun's age was 256 years old.
There is another saying that is worth checking. There was a footman named Xiang Jiyang in the Qing Dynasty. He once carried a burden to Li Qingyun in his youth, but Xiang Jiyang was 1806 AD Li Qingyun was born in 1912 and died in 1912. After this person died, Li Qingyun was still alive. It is said that Li Qingyun looked almost 50 years old at the time, so it is estimated that Li Qingyun's actual age is not 256 years old, but about 170 years old.
In the 22nd year of the Republic of China (1933), it was reported that Li Qingyun, an old man with longevity, had passed away in May. This was a sensation. A literati named Yang Sen organized a team to deliberately investigate Li Qingyun’s life experience and true age, and then published it. A related report on the "True Record of a 250-year-old Senior Citizen" stated that Li Qingyun was seven feet tall, had long nails, had good eyesight, and walked steadily. As a result, one stone caused a thousand waves of waves. When the Americans saw it, they sent the media to visit Li Qingyun's hometown in Sichuan, my country.
and the local residents of Sichuan recalled that they saw Li Qingyun when he was a child, until he grew old from childhood, and looked back at Li Qingyun, he still did not grow old. There are also many villagers who say that their grandfather has friendship with Li Qingyun, but when it comes to Li Qingyun's past life, everyone is speechless and no one knows. Then the American media went back and wrote an article in the magazine "Tortoise, Sparrow and Dog", saying that Li Qingyun slept like a dog, walked like a bird, and sat like a turtle.
