| Abstract;The humans have challenged to the impossible dream through alchemy in the West and immortality in the East. In search of the medicine for perennial youth and long life, the first Qin Emperor sent Johuku to Japan by his ship. Though there are no evidence of his arrival, many tombs that are said to be Johuku's are found in Japan. All regions that are called the regions of longevity are the phantom created by human dreams. The family register are still remarkably imperfect. The annual report of WHO in 1970 shows that the average life span is short in the countries where many centenarians are found, while long in those where not many centenarians found. The average life span of Bolivia that has the most centenarians is 49.71 years of age in both males and females, while the average life span of Finland that has the least centenarians is 65.4 years of age in males and 72.6 years of age in females. This is a nonsense. In our country where families are strictly resitered, increase in average life span is well correlated to increase in centenarians (summarized by the author). |
