On May 30, 2014 (May 2, 2014 in the lunar calendar), a county in Guangdong was awarded the title of "World Longevity Township". There were 10819 people over the age of 80. On May 30, 2014, Jiaoling County, Guangdong Province, was officially awarded the title of "World Longevity Township" by the International Association of Natural Medicine and the World Longevity Township Scientific Certification Committee. Jiaoling County is the seventh "World Longevity Township" recognized by the agency and the fourth "World Longevity Township" in China. The awarding ceremony was held at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing. It is reported that the World Association of Nature Medicine has previously identified the Caucasus region, Hunza in Pakistan, Birkabamba in Ecuador, Bama in Guangxi, Rugao in Jiangsu, and Hotan in Xinjiang as the world's longevity townships. Keiichi Morishita, president of the association, said that Changshou townships in various places can be roughly divided into three categories. Bama, Guangxi, belongs to a "natural type" longevity township, which can also be called a "mountain village-type" longevity township; Rugao, Jiangsu, is an "urban-type" longevity township, and Jiaoling's longevity form lies in between. Keiichi Morishita said that the long-lived elderly people in Jiaoling are hospitable and good at conversation. They are evenly distributed throughout the county. There are centenarians in almost every township. They are basically three, four, or even five generations under the same roof. They work all their lives, love cleanliness, have strong self-care capabilities, and have a strong sense of social participation. According to reports, as of the end of 2013, there were 45 centenarians in Jiaoling County, accounting for 20/100,000 of the total population. There were 1791 people aged 90 to 99, and 8983 people aged 80 to 89. The county's average life expectancy reached 78.6 years, both exceeding the main data certification standards of the "World Longevity Township". At the press conference, Wen Xiangfang, secretary of the Jiaoling County Party Committee, made a promise that after Jiaoling received this "golden signboard", it would plan the county from a high starting point, protect the Jiaoling environment with high standards, and achieve sustainable development. "We will learn from the experience and lessons of other regions, take a path with Jiaoling characteristics, and make the brand of 'Hometown of Longevity' brighter and brighter." On-the-spot visits to mountains and rivers, selenium-rich and beneficial health care, have the "secret" to longevity for the elderly. Why was Jiaoling selected as the "Hometown of Longevity"? Recently, reporters inspected its natural and living environment on site and visited many centenarians. According to reports, the mountains and rivers of Jiaoling are quiet and beautiful, and are rich in trace elements such as selenium, iron, and zinc, providing unique natural conditions for the "Hometown of Longevity". Family harmony, healthy diet, regular life, and peace of mind are the "secrets of longevity" generally recognized by the elderly. Family harmony and peace of mind "I am so old, and you still come to visit me, I am so happy!" In Jiuling Village, Sanzhen Town, the reporter saw 104-year-old Zhong Caifeng, who spoke clearly and was in high spirits, sitting at the door of the house to greet the guests who came. Although his ears were weak and all his teeth had fallen out, he still spoke clearly and clearly. She pointed to the concrete ramp at the door of the house and said,"I have to sweep the floor every day." Among the 2177 villagers in Jiuling Village, 21.5% are over 60 years old, and there are 3 centenarians. It is one of the earliest recognized longevity villages in Jiaoling County. According to reports, most of the long-lived elderly people here live together with future generations. They have people to take care of their lives, have regular lives, and are respected and loved by society. "The secret of longevity? The most important thing is family harmony and open-minded." In Shifeng Village, Guangfu Town, 80-year-old Luo Shibing spoke loudly and stretched out a strong arm to shake hands with reporters. His mother Qiu Xindi is already 104 years old. When she heard someone visiting, she washed up neatly and came out to meet with the guests. She had flexible legs and vigorous spirits. Luo Shibing introduced that his mother gave birth to 4 brothers and sisters. Now five generations live together. The family has never quarreled and is harmonious and united. Qiu Xindi lives a regular life, eats more grains, and pays great attention to personal cleanliness. The elderly in the "Golden Marriage Village" have joined hands with their couples for 70 years to live a long life. This is a major feature of Shihu Village, Lanfang Town, Jiaoling. There are 68 couples who have worked together for more than 50 years. Chen Ganquan and his wife Huang Yuying married in 1943 and have been together for 71 years. Over the long years, the two of them stayed together through thick and thin, respecting each other as guests. His son Chen Yong said that since he became sensible, he had hardly seen his parents have serious quarrels, and the family got along harmoniously. "My father is very generous, and my mother is kind and good at running the family. Last year, she also won the title of "Top Ten Good Mothers-in-Law" in the county.
