Run Run Shaw is the oldest and longest-serving CEO of a listed company in the world. The hundred years he has experienced are far more exciting than any film and television work he has filmed. The mystery of Run Run Shaw's longevity? Many people are very interested in why Uncle Liu lived so long. Even scientists are studying the living habits of centenarians. Since his middle age, Uncle Liu has spent hundreds of yuan a year buying precious ginseng to nourish his body. After the age of seventy, he began to practice Qigong. He got up at 5 a.m. every morning for a walk and practiced Qigong, Shaolin Boxing and Taijiquan. In his middle and late years, he began to separate rooms with his wife, using different rooms in winter as one of the secrets of health preservation. In addition to the above-mentioned physical exercise after tomorrow, judging from Liu Uncle's appearance, he also has the characteristics of a long life. His hands are long, and when his hands are hung down, their hands are longer than his waist. This is one of the characteristics of his longevity; His face has a pointed head, a long face, and a long and straight nose, which is the second characteristic of his longevity. When Liu Uncle walks, he always mops the floor and walks. When he walks, he walks very slowly. No matter how urgent he is, he is not in a hurry. He is always slow and slow. A strange person must have a strange appearance. This is also what makes him unique. According to the 2007 census report, there are only 2,000 people over 100 years old in Hong Kong. Do they all eat ginseng and practice qigong like Uncle Liu? The answer is no, I have seen many people who have lived a long life. They eat everything and never avoid eating it. If they can live a long life by just eating ginseng and practicing qigong, scientists won't have to spend energy to find the mystery of longevity. If they can master longevity so easily, wouldn't it mean that everyone can live past a hundred years?
