Hello Mardi. The photo was taken in 1929 at the home of General Yang Sen in Sichuan province in China. There would definitely have been talk of his age. The government is said to have repeatedly celebrated his age going back well before 1929. He was also on a tour at the time giving talks about his healing sounds Qigong method for longevity at several universities.
Li Qingyun's age is a hot topic for debate, but I thought it would be of interest to give some names and dates.
I think that you did a really nice job laying out the evidence of his age. I've read about him previously, but your summary is the most complete one that I've ever seen.
If his collection of fingernails has been preserved, tiny samples of them could be taken to verify correlating evidence. For example, they will likely carry traces of the environment. For example, in some cases radiocarbon dating has been used on fingernails and other techniques compare content with those of ancient tree rings.
Greetings David.
I'm curious if you know what year the photo of Li Qing Yuen was taken and if there was comment on his age at the time of the photograph.

It would be a worthy project.
