One day, someone saw that Huang Yongyu was still strong at the age of 96, so he asked him the secret of his longevity, and he smiled: "I never maintain my health, I sleep late every day, smoke every day, rarely eat fruits, and I don't like to exercise." Haha, Huang Lao really lived a "negative teaching material" for longevity.
(Information source: Phoenix.com's "Huang Yongyu Laughs and Talks About Health Secrets: Love Smoking, Don't Eat Fruits, Don't Love Exercise")
Let's take a look at his "different" resume:
Huang Yongyu was born in 1924, with a primary school education, went out to earn a living at the age of 12, and began to embark on the road of professional painter at the age of 14, and later became a national treasure-level artist.
At the age of 50, he got a driver's license, at the age of 70, he decided to start traveling around the world, at the age of 80, he became a cover model for Vogue Magazine, and at the age of 93, he drove a Ferrari and raced with young people......
He said that he was a "cool post-90s", saying that others were born in the 90s and called the post-90s, and he was called the post-90s after the age of 90.
He also boasted that he was a "super old naughty boy", and he liked everything fun:
The plants planted at home are: plum, lotus and peony, he loves lotus the most and is called "lotus idiot";
The animals raised at home are: monkeys, parrots, Brazil turtles, usually fine, teach monkeys to somersaults, teach parrots to talk;
In addition, he also has a soft spot for cars, tea sets, cameras, root carvings, strange stones, ancient coins, etc., and often plays with them, and also calls them "spiritual exchanges, ideological exchanges......
Let's talk about a few of his "bad habits":
1. "Improper":
In Huang Yongyu's paintings, there is always a sense of naughtiness and gangsterism.
For example, his painting "Pig Nose with Onions and Elephants" is really a pig with onions in his nose;
The ugly mouse painted is called "I'm ugly, but my mother likes it";
The clucking hen is painted with the text "Can you scream when you lay an egg?" 》；
The parrot is painted with the title "Birds are good birds, that is, they talk a lot".
It feels like this was drawn by an almost 100-year-old uncle, obviously it was drawn by a post-90s joker.
In 2013, he held the "Huang Yongyu 90 Painting Exhibition", and because he was going to hold a thank you dinner, he asked him:
Is it required for men to wear suits and women to wear evening dresses?
He replied in a modest manner:
You don't have to, just be naked.
At dinner time, several collectors chased him and shouted masters, and he took the trouble to do so:
Professors walk all over the street, there are as many masters as dogs, so I don't want to be a master.
2. Refuse to accept the old
One day, Bai Yansong came to the door and saw Huang Lao being playing a red Ferrari, so he joked:
Why do you still drive a sports car when you're old?
He directly sent Bai Yansong a big white eye:
I'm not an old man.
Another day, on a whim, he told his family what kind of memorial service he wanted.
So he said to his wife:
"After I die, you immediately take me to be cremated, and then the ashes are put in the flush toilet, and then you hold a memorial service in the toilet, and when it's over, the water is flushed and you leave."
The old wife also rewarded him with a big white eye:
It will block the toilet, no.
He had another bad idea:
What about dividing my ashes into small packets and giving them to the people attending the memorial service, so that they can take them back and plant flowers?
The old wife continued to roll her eyes:
No, I'm panicking.
In the end, he could only pretend to be sad and say:
Then make my ashes into dumplings and share them with everyone?
As a result, everyone gave him countless rolls of the eyes:
, dead old man.
3. Love to smoke, don't eat fruits, and don't exercise
In 1997, Huang Yongyu's daughter said to him: Uncle Wang Zengqi died, Huang Yongyu snorted with a pipe, and then sighed:
Qian Zhongshu, Li Keran and others who advised me to quit smoking are gone, and I am so lonely.
That year, Huang Yongyu was 73 years old.
When asked the secret of his longevity, he said: "I sleep late every day, smoke every day, rarely eat fruits, and don't like to exercise." ”
However, when it comes to not liking sports, it's not that you don't exercise, but that you don't like to set a fixed time, or exercise because you exercise.
In his words, sport is not sports, but "fun play"
In his early years, he hung a large sandbag from the crooked neck tree in his backyard, and no matter how busy he was, he would find time to "play" for an hour every day, and at the age of 90, he would do the same.
In addition to boxing, he also enjoys cycling and mountain climbing, and enjoys the feeling of being in the air.
In 2023, Mr. Huang Yongyu passed away at the age of 99.
His classic quote is:
"Clear love, direct disgust, sincere like."
That's what he said, and that's what he did.
Throughout Huang Yongyu's life, although he has experienced countless vicissitudes and twists and turns, he is still full of life and love for life.
In his opinion, life is about experience, and maintaining a positive and happy mindset is more important than anything else.
If you are unhappy in life, what is the difference between death and death, just live this life, as for the next life, we will talk about it in the next life.
I wish everyone, whether they are old or young, can have the heart of a child like Huang Yongyu, and always live the happiest and longest-lived "child".
