The Shpoler Zeide once blessed a Jew and smacked him and said: you should live until 120.
The Liaver Rebbe saw this Jew when he was 103 years old, and he lived for another 17 years.

Late Hasidism was perceived and presented in research as a movement of institutionalization and entrenchment that lost the initial Hasidic renaissance, and even degenerated. Recently there have been changes in research and more complex methods and approaches have been introduced that find characteristics unique to late Hasidim.
