The legend of Professor Yun

The Chinese believe in Goji as having the capacity to extend our life expectancy of numerous years. In the province of Ningxia, where this fruit grows, people are considered to live 120 and even 150 years. In fact, it would have been frequent in this region to meet people who lived more than 100, even 200 years! The isolation of these sectors, the language barriers and the absence of electronic communications were able to prevent the publication of such stories. One of the main cases of longevity, confirmed by numerous sources, is the Professor Li Chung Yun, a recognized Chinese researcher. He is considered as being the man having lived the oldest of all times. His archives demonstrate that he would have been born in 1677 and that he would have lived approximately 256 years. On the day of his death, he still had all his teeth and the original color of his hair. His surroundings tell that even at the age of 200, he had the appearance at the most of a man of about fifty. He lived longer than his 23 wives and he was able to see in his lifetime 11 generations of his descendants.

The first 100 years of the life of the Professor Yun were spent in the study and the learning of wild herbs. Next years, he preffered to teacht and make conferences on herbes as well as on means to live older. We say about him that he began to eat Goji at the age of 50. He said his story: « At the age of 50, while I was in a mountain to collect herbes, I met an old man who lived in a backed up zone in the mountains. He did not have the appearance of a " great man ", but he made so big steps that Iw had the impression that he was flying in the air. Whatever my efforts to try to follow him, I was incapable of it. Later, I met him again. I knelt down to his feet and asked him to tell me his secret. He gave me wild fruits by saying: « My only secret is that I eat these fruits every day ». I took the fruits and saw at once that it was chinese Wolfberries ( Goji). Since then, I consume 3 qian (5 ounces) of Chinese Wolfberries every day. From then on I became again agile and in health. I can walk 100 li ( half a kilometre) and I do not feel tired. I am stronger and I acquired more vigour than an average person ».

The Professor Yun is possibly the same Yun mentioned by Domestic and Foreign magazine, which brings reports the story of Li Qingyum of the province of Sichuan, which died at the age of 250 in 1930.
