      Professor Gan Zuwang, a nationally renowned veteran Chinese medicine practitioner, is 100 years old this year. Although he has lost hearing and can only rely on words to communicate, and his body movements are slightly less flexible, he still has a clear mind and quick thinking.; He can see clearly and often reads books, newspapers, writes articles, and corrects papers. He once said: “You can work until you are 90 years old and live until you are 100 years old. ”Now it has become a fact, and recently it was said that he would live to be 110 years old... The secret of such a long life lies in his eight-character formula of "childlike innocence, ant food, turtle desire, and monkey walking".

      This method is a health regimen that Gan Zuwang has been practicing for 50 years. Now he is over 100 years old and has not yet retired. He still goes to work as usual.; Half-day outpatient service, no dizziness, no back pain, clear thinking ; I gave a report for 2 to 3 hours and stood up to lecture. The situation was similar to that of young people. ; As for creation, I often do it after 12 o'clock at night sleep ; The ward is on the 16th floor and there is no elevator. So, what are his health care methods? To sum it up, it’s just one sentence: learn from animals seriously.

      He said: “I started practicing my health regimen 50 years ago, but subjectively I don’t know how to maintain health. Looking back 50 years later, I realized that it was indeed a very good health-preserving method, and it came from practice. Although I have entered old age, my mental and physical strength are not inferior to those of young adults. From then on, I began to pay attention to it and consciously conducted in-depth observations, discussions and summaries. At the same time, I diligently sought new knowledge from ancient teachings to integrate them with the theory. ”

      Childlike innocence remains forever

      “"Childlike innocence" means the innocent heart. One is purity and innocence: because innocence means the heart is open and cheerful without worries. He has an innocent heart, not to mention the evil thoughts of hurting others, bullying others, teasing others, or attacking others. “"Those who respect others will always respect them." With so much emotional warmth around me, my mood becomes more comfortable, relaxed and happy. The second is simplicity: Don’t rack your brains with endless thoughts and focus on your career. If you are good at helping others, you will have endless joy, but if you are scheming about others, you will only find trouble. The third is optimism: Children are carefree bystanders in their hearts, rarely hurt by the seven emotions. If they stay in the state of "forgetting emotions in peace" for a long time, they will "recover in form and spirit, and become one with heaven" and will live forever.
