Mr. Tsui told the reporters: "The normal length of a
human life span is around 5 to 6 times 25 years, i.e.,
around 125-175 years. The secret of healthy longevity
lies in: adequate sustenance, adequate sleep, and
adequate exercise, having a cheerful spirit and being
happy‖. (Before his retirement at 66 years of age, he
was like others showing the usual symptoms of
senility. After retirement he started relentlessly
practicing a daily routine he learned as a young man
when he joined the army and was sent to Manchuria.
While he was there, this routine was taught him by a
monk in a Buddhist temple in Manchuria. Since
retirement he has practiced it without missing a single
day.
He rises at 4:30 AM and opens his windows to let in
the fresh air to circulate around his room, then goies
back to his large bed to do his in-bed exercise.
He has never had to be in a hospital since retirement,
nor has he had to use his medical insurance card.
