    Xie Laoyuan, born in 1909, is now 108 years old. She is the oldest person of the 52 centenarians living in Longshan village in Guilin, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. Meanwhile, she is the healthiest one of them. She likes to go barefoot working in the fields, carrying firewood bundles weighing 30 kilograms up and down the hills, which she can do just as easily as walking on flat ground. Xie has kept the habit of working ever since she was a young girl. When asked about the secret to longevity, she said the most important point is to live a simple life and stay diligent and kind, then let nature take its course.

    I'd question the validity of record keeping in rural China at the turn of the century.

    Jesus... and I can barely carry a case of water out to my truck without my back aching for three days afterward.

    Unfortunately, those changes require a different set of genes than I was born with. Severe kyphosis runs in the family. Attempting to pull on a pallet jack or carry anything even moderately heavy doesn’t cause immediate pain, so I end up doing stuff that I know I’m gonna pay for in the next day or two.

    Probably should have been in a back brace when I was a kid but it’s too late for that now.
     
    Mattflat362 Thanks this.

    It appears celibacy is also part of the answer.



    I'm gonna die very young. :D

    “Hi, my name is Euell Gibbons and I eat pine cones and drink squirrel piss.”
