Li Ching-Yuen, The 256 Year Old Man

Li Ching-Yuen or Li Ching-Yun (claimed to be born 1677 or 1736 - died 6 May 1933) was a Chinese herbalist, martial artist and tactical advisor, known for his supposed extreme longevity. He claimed to be born in 1736, while disputed records suggest 1677. Both claimed lifespans, of 197 and 256 years, far exceed the longest confirmed lifespan of 122 years and 164 days of French woman Jeanne Calment. His true date of birth was never determined and his claims have been dismissed by gerontologists as a myth.
