It will have been more than one person pretending to be the same.. all you'd have to do is wait for the old one to die then go travel someplace and say you're him; word may have spread about a great herbalist but they wouldn't have pictures or anything

I doubt it's true.

Nobody has lived past 125, let alone 256.

You don't know that, apparently in some places most people live to 130

LOL Someone needs to stop letting daddy tell bedtime stories while he is under the influence of alcohol. On topic I don't believe it's true.

Considering he probably lived off herbs and rice or w.e and had no stress in his life, who's to say it's not real?

You get hamster that live up to nine years old etc which translates to like 200 in human years.
