摘　　要：世界著名老年学科学家近来异口同声地指出"衰老不再是生物学的未解之谜",指出"熵增决定衰老,基因决定寿命……"。这些个观点恰与中国老年学科学家前一两年的开拓性贡献一脉相承。该文简要介绍了在解读千古之谜过程中发生在中国老年学学术领域的一些重要事件以及其中的重大突破和理论创新,进而对解密衰老之后现代生物医学的进一步学术发展和重要切入点提出了展望。Objective A number of world famous gerontologists announced recently that ＂Biological aging is no longer an unsolved problem＂ and indicated ＂Entropy explains aging, genetics explains longevity...＂. These concepts have a strong relationship with contributions of Chinese gerontologists achieved in a couple of earlier years. This paper introduces several important scientific events and breakthroughs during the unraveling process of aging, the thousand-year＇s mystery ,in the Chinese gerontology society, and directes further biomedical approaches and breaking points which can be expected on the base of the newly developed aging biochemistry.
