Li Ching-Yuen was a Chinese herbalist, martial artist and tactical advisor. He claimed to be born in 1736, while disputed records suggest 1677. Both alleged lifespans of 197 and 256 years far exceed the longest confirmed lifespan of 122 years and 164 days of the French woman Jeanne Calment.

The article "Tortoise-Pigeon-Dog", from the March 16, 1933 issue of Time reports on his history, and includes Li Ching-Yuen's answer to the secret of a long life:

- Tranquil mind
- Sit like a tortoise
- Walk sprightly like a pigeon
- Sleep like a dog
