Editor's note: There is a 107-year-old professional dancer in Australia. She continues to create and perform after she is 100 years old, and is even called an Australian treasure. When asked what are the secrets to stay alive? She replied: "Keep curious about the world and the ability to create new things will make people forget their age." How to view "old" may determine how you spend your old age!
For the Australian dancer Eileen, who is 107 years old this year (2022), Kramer said that she not only acted as a professional dancer and dancer, but also toured all over the world, but also ushered in the peak of her creative work in her life after her 100th birthday, and still continues to live on the stage.
One of the questions that people often ask her is why does she always have such abundant vitality? Also, what's the secret to why I can continue dancing at such an age?
Eileen's answer was: She refused to use the terms "old" and "age". "I just lived in this world for a long time and learned something in the process."
After the age of 100, I continued to perform and create a young and beautifulBorden in 1914, Eileen Kramer is one of the founders of Australia's first modern dance group, "Borden Viather Ballet". In her more than a hundred years of life, she spent most of her time living and performing overseas. She has lived in India to perform as a dancer and paint wall paintings, and has also worked as an art nude model in Paris and London.
While living in Paris, she met many well-known figures in the music and arts circles, and also worked with Louis, the father of American jazz at a cafeteria. Arms's academic dances. It was not until she was 99 that she decided to return to Australia because of her "missing the sound of Eucalyptus and the Smile Bird".
After returning home, she participated in the filming of three large-scale dance works, movies and short films at the Australian National Dance and Art Institute (NIDA) and the independent theater, and wrote 3 books. She currently lives in a maintenance agency in Sydney City and is also a habit of writing a story to herself every day.

"I like to focus on what I want to do. If more people can do jobs that they really like, then age is not so mindful. I have never owned a car, refrigerator or house, which gives me the freedom to stay young and do my job," she said.
Due to her charm as a dancer, many of them in the dance world visit her regularly, and when she lives in the nursing home, she is responsible for helping to arrange her daily needs so that she can continue to maintain dancing and other work.
The physical therapist who helped her in physical training said that although she could not move or stand quickly, she might as well help her as a dancer. Her upper body is very expressive and her hands are still flexible.
The dancer Sue Healey, who worked with her, said that although she can't dance or fold her body like many dancers, she dances with the true nature of dance and maintains amazing creativity, "maybe that's what keeps her alive, young and energetic."
The drama consumes the body violently due to dance performances, and many professional dancers consider retirement in their 30s. For them, Eileen Kramer is undoubtedly an inspiring example. On her 103th birthday, she produced and performed a dance drama called "The Buddha's Wife". In addition to dancing and costumes, she even performed the heroine in the drama —— a 17-year-old Indian princess.
The best year old month starts after 100"Even if I look older, my current mentality is still the same as the urge to try and create new things when I was young. If I persist, it will not change."
Eileen Kramer said that the best year in her life began when she was 100. "If you really want to prepare for your age, it is to maintain the ability to create new things and to ignore things outside of it. I always like to look absolutely beautiful: to make makeup, wear good clothes, feel happy or worried about the outside world, or be deeply moved by something."
Finally, when the reporter asked, what exactly is the secret to her long and prosperous life?
"Of course, it is important to have a healthy body first. And whether a body is healthy or not depends largely on yourself—— like what you eat, how to think about things, how to face the pain, repair yourself, and what you gain." Eileen Kramer laughed.
