After two consecutive days of verification, Wang Feng said: "In the fifth list of China's top ten birthday stars, four birthday stars in Kashgar are on the list, and two of the four centenarians are not in good health. The former first birthday star of China, Guangxi Bamaro Meizhen, passed away on June 4, 2013, which means that Alimihan has become the longest-lived person in China.

According to historical records, Chen Jun of Fujian, China, was born in the Tang Dynasty and died in the Yuan Dynasty, living 443 years old, creating a longevity record that no one has broken so far. According to the 12 volumes of the "Yongtai County Chronicles" in the thirteenth year of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty, Chen Jun, the word Keming, was born in Tangquan Village, Yongjia Mountain District, Fujian Province (now Tangcheng Village, Wutong Township, Yongtai County), born in the Tang Dynasty and Xin Chou (881 AD), died in the Yuan Dynasty Taiding Jiazi year (1324 AD), at the age of 443.

In that year, Chen Jun practiced medicine and went to Yongtai and saw Tangquan Village (now known as Tangcheng Village, Wutong Township, Yongtai County) with beautiful mountains and waters, hot springs all over the place, and good mountains and waters, so he stayed. Chen Jun is an upright person, willing to do good deeds for the township, and is respected by the villagers. In his later years, he was unable to support himself, "there was no survivor of his descendants, and the villagers took turns to provide for him."

Later, as the old man grew older, his body gradually shrank, and his body became smaller and smaller, "like a child". When Chen Jun lived to be more than 400 years old, his entire weight was less than ten catties (five kilograms). It is very inconvenient to move, so the neighbors made a large vegetable basket with hemp bamboo to hold the elderly, and the donors took turns to carry him in and out of the house, so the neighbors called him "the vegetable basket man".

The people of Tangquan Village felt very surprised to see the old man Chen Jun so long-lived, and they all treated him as a treasure in the world, or even as a god possessed. Usually, the villagers even go to the fields to work, afraid that the old people will be lonely, they like to take the old people to the edge of the field, while working, while chatting with them, when hungry to feed human milk, the relationship between each other is very close.

After Chen Jun's death, the villagers placed his bones in the Tangquan Temple as a memorial, and he was known as "Little Peng Zu" (legend has it that Peng Zu lived for more than 800 years). Chen Jun's life deeds are engraved on a wooden tablet, which has been preserved from the Yuan Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty. The name and legend of "Vegetable Basket Gong" are still widely spread in Yongtai County.

Of course, Chen Jun's life to the age of 443 is only a record in the county annals, and it is unknown how scientific it is.
