256 Years Old Man Breaks The Silence Before His Death And Reveals SHOCKING Secrets To The World-World Hot Events
For many of us, the lasting appeal of nail art is that
we can express our tastes (no matter how wild or subdued) without the aesthetic
confines of hair and makeup. It’s a mini act of self-presentation.
“There’s specificity in how we choose to do our
nails,” said Miss Pop, the artist who created these four looks. “Those choices
are joyful.”
And now, the canvas is growing. The newest nail art,
largely inspired by the giddiness of the 1990s, spills onto the fingers and
hands. Glitter, rhinestones and beads make up most of the designs.
“This is a ’90s reboot,” Miss Pop said. “It’s an
evolution of that excessive aesthetic we’re seeing all over fashion and
beauty.” And as anyone who’s ever bedazzled a denim jacket knows, rhinestones
create big visual impact but are surprisingly easy to wield.
“People find it very challenging to paint designs on
nails,” she said. “But putting down some eyelash glue and sticking on a
rhinestone? It’s so easy.”
Summer with its nonstop events — weddings, beach days,
outdoor festivals — is the best season to introduce the nail-art-is-hand-art
look. But before you get started, Miss Pop has a few general rules. What is the
longest a person has ever lived for? Meet Li Ching Yuen, a man who lived an
astonishing 256 years! And no, this is not a myth or a fictional tale.
According to a 1930 New York Times article, Wu Chung-chieh, a professor of
the Chengdu
University, discovered Imperial Chinese government records from 1827
congratulating Li Ching-Yuen on his 150th birthday, and
further documents later congratulating him on his 200th birthday in 1877. In
1928, a New York Times correspondent wrote that many of the
old men in Li’s neighborhood asserted that their grandfathers knew him when
they were boys, and that he at that time was a grown man.
Li Ching Yuen reportedly began his herbalist career at
the age of 10, where he gathered herbs in mountain ranges and learned of their
potency for longevity. For almost 40 years, he survived on a diet of herbs such
as lingzhi, goji berry, wild ginseng, he shoo wu and gotu kola and rice wine.
In 1749, at the age of 71, he joined the Chinese armies as teacher of martial
arts. Li was said to be a much-loved figure in his community, marrying 23
times and fathering over 200 children.
