He was born weak and sick, and by the time he was 50, he was already white-haired and separated from his wife. One day, he had a dream, in which an old man told him that as long as he found two vines intertwined, he would dig them down and soak their roots in wine, which would make him healthy. The next day, he found this vine (Polygonum multiflorum Thunb. ) and dig out its roots and soak them in wine.

Only after asking did I know that this young woman was the mother of the person who was beaten. She is over 200 years old this year. She hit her daughter because she didn't listen to the lesson. The official was surprised and asked her why she was still so young in her 200 s. She said that she "eats Lycium barbarum every day.
