Coinciding with China's National Day and the International Day of Older Persons, a report highlights Rugao in Jiangsu Province as a prominent global center for longevity. Statistics indicate that the city boasts an average life expectancy of 83.12 years, with approximately 31 centenarians for every 100,000 residents. The report profiles local elderly individuals who maintain active lifestyles well into their later years. For instance, 105-year-old Gao Tingkuan continues to manage his own grocery shopping and cooking, while 96-year-old Zhang Mingde remains engaged in household chores and daily hobbies. These examples illustrate how consistent physical activity and routine tasks contribute to the health and vitality of the aging population in this region.
