Huang Desheng, a 104-year old from a small village in Jiangxi province, wakes up at 6 am and goes to bed at 8 pm every day.

He has kept the habit for many decades. Born in 1908, Huang still looks healthy and vigorous.

His wife, 98-year-old Cheng Yinzhi, is also in good physical condition.

The couple worked on their farm well into old age, only stopping at the request of their family.

Now they live by themselves and do not need help from their children to do their daily housework.

"You have to maintain a good mood. You should learn that when you suffer from loss, you also gain something. Getting along well with other people can help you forget your troubles," Huang Desheng said when asked the secrets of a long and healthy life.

Huang's family lives in a small village in Leping city in East China's Jiangxi province. The village population is 700, and over 100 people in the village are over 60 and 43 people are older than 80. The villagers' long lives have been attributed to environmental conditions, hereditary factors and lifestyle.

Located near a mountain, the village has five ancient wells that provide them with clean water. Also the villagers love working and have peaceful minds, said Yue Haijie, the director of office on aging in Leping city, Jiangxi province.

Top 10 nude models in China

Image
Nudity in art and nude modeling were introduced into China almost one century ago. When famed Chinese painter Liu Haisu became the first to initiate a figure drawing course at a Shanghai art school in 1917, he immediately triggered public uproar and widespread controversy in regards to nude modeling. Since then, China has become much more open to nude modeling, especially when we think back on the 1928 slashing of a nude model by her father for posing for internationally renowned Chinese photographer Lang Jingshan who took the country's first artistic nude shot . However, even though the Chinese have gotten more at ease with the idea of modeling in the nude since 1928, it still remains quite the controversial career path to take in China. Every time some nude picture appears, the public nudity debate gets stirred up again and sometimes violence may even ensue. Some think that it's shameful and the models just get naked for the so-called sake of art to make easy-money and ...

Little-known Ethnic Culture in China

Basha people Basha people belong to a branch of the Miao ethnic minority in Guizhou province and have a reputation as the last tribe of gunman. Almost every man above the age of 14 carries a gun and a knife, which they regard as a sign of bravery and honor. Their ancestor, they believe, is Emperor Chiwu, a legendary warrior who engaged in fighting with the Yellow Emperor. They have spoken – not written – language. The inhabitants share a worship of trees as they believe their life has been blessed by the God of Trees. In addition, most major festivals and events are held in the trees. If people get married, the witness is two intertwining trees. When a baby is born, the elders will plant a tree for them. When people die, a tree will be cut down and made into a coffin which continues to stay with their owners. The tome is quite austere, with only a new tree planted on the ground beneath which the dead are buried. There are less than 1,000 people living in the tribe now, ...
