First of all, in June 2007, Tomoji Tanabe became the oldest man in the world recognized by Guinness World Records. A number of media then intensively reported on him and some Japanese elders, and the metropolis of Miyazaki Prefecture where he lived became famous overseas and gained the reputation of "the hometown of longevity". Later, on June 9, 2009/kloc-0, Japanese officials announced that the famous longevity old man, Tomoko Tanabe, died at his home in Miyazaki Prefecture at 5 o'clock that day, at the age of 1 13. After Tomoko Tanabe died, the title of "the oldest person in the world" was transferred to Britain, and allingham became the heir. Allingham 1896 was born in clapham, south of London, England. He spanned three centuries, experienced ups and downs, settled in three countries, experienced six generations of British kings and witnessed many important events. Won the title of the oldest man, "allingham is calm and philosophical, just like he treats other things in life," said Dennis Goodwin, a close friend of allingham. "Now he lives in seclusion and often reflects on his life." Allingham lived on the south coast of England at that time and had five grandchildren, 12 great-grandchildren and 1 great-grandchildren.
Before entering the Guinness Book of World Records, allingham was a household name in Britain, because he was one of the only three "World War I veterans" in Britain. 19 16, allingham participated in the Battle of Jutland as an aircraft mechanic. This was the biggest naval battle between the British and German fleets during World War I, and the battle was extremely fierce. Later, he participated in the creation of the British Air Force. This air force was established in 19 18.
The French government awarded allingham the Legion of Honor in March this year. At the award ceremony, the veteran who has experienced two world wars said with emotion: "I hope there will be no more wars in the world ... War is a tragedy that people can't let go."
Nigel Hext Bull of the British Naval Association said that allingham is a life-long honorary member of the association and won the title of the oldest male this time. We are very happy and look forward to his health and longevity.
Talking about the physical condition of veterans, Goodwin told reporters that allingham lost his sense of taste, could not enjoy delicious food and was weaker than before. "But he is still optimistic and often wants to go for a walk outdoors." .

On July 8th, 2009, henry allingham, an Englishman at the age of 1 13, passed away. wouter breuning, an American at the age of 1 12, took his place and became the oldest known living man in the world. Previously, Walter Braeuning, a retired American railway worker, was the second longest-lived man in the world after allingham. September 2 1896 was born in melrose, Minnesota, USA. Is the oldest man in America. Apart from being a little deaf, Braeuning is in good health, not only can he walk out, but also has a clear mind. According to united press international, Braeuning lives in a nursing home in Great Falls, central Montana. After allingham's death, Guinness World Records listed Browning as the oldest known living man on its website. In this regard, Braeuning did not show great interest, because health rather than honor is his greatest concern. In an interview with the media on July 20, he said a very philosophical sentence: "With health, there is everything." Braeuning also said that "keeping everything moderate and busy" is the secret of his long life. He said that he ate two meals a day without taking medicine, but he must eat fruit. In addition, he walks along the ramp to the room on the second floor of the nursing home every day. Therefore, health is something that people must pay great attention to in their lives. "Everything is easy, healthy and great", this is my famous saying!

I am engaged in the creation of health science. Why am I so interested in this record? On the one hand, it is important health information, which contains many health elements; On the other hand, it is also very interesting knowledge. More importantly, I am concerned about whether it is possible for us in China to enter this record. Last year, didn't the China Aging Association organize the first list of the top ten birthday stars in China? Sadik Sawuti, male, Uygur, aged 12 1, from Kashgar, Xinjiang, was selected as the top. He is over the age of Walter Bruening. Why not apply for the Guinness Book of World Records? As mentioned above, in June 2007, after Yukichi Tanabe of Japan became the world's oldest man recognized by Guinness World Records, many media intensively reported on him and some Japanese elders, and his Miyazaki Prefecture became famous overseas and gained the reputation of "the hometown of longevity". Why don't Xinjiang and Kashgar in China make such efforts? I think it must be because the information is not accurate, comprehensive and authoritative enough to withstand the strict examination required by Guinness World Records. It is said that Li Qingyun was born in 1677, died in 1933, and lived to the age of 256. Finally, there is no official record in any local chronicles related to him. When we are engaged in longevity research and health science creation, we must follow a rigorous and scientific attitude, and we must not be false or fooled, so that we can stand the test of time and history.

Then there is our own goal. Didn't I say that it is my wish to create and practice health science all my life? When will this "lifelong practice" end? We are still more than 40 years behind the record of American Wouter Breuning112 years old. It's really a long journey of life! Now we try to climb mountains every week, push frogs in the swimming pool more than 600 times every day, and discuss with our wife to eat vegetable soup made of various vegetables at noon every day ... Why? Can we reach that limit?
