92-year-old Chinese woman sets an example with her passion for sports

A 92-year-old woman named Li has become a symbol of health and love of life in China, not only for her generation, but also for the younger generation. After a video about the daily life of this elderly woman from the central Hunan province was broadcast on television, she caused a wide discussion throughout the country.

When reporters visited her home, Ms. Li found herself in her usual place - next to her bed - and easily performed the exercises of sitting and standing 100 times, and then bending and stretching her arms on the floor 200 times in front of guests. Thus, she proved that she has been leading this active lifestyle every day for many years without stopping.

According to the 92-year-old Li, regular sports training has strengthened not only her physical but also her mental state. "Perhaps the exercises I do do not meet perfect standards, but the main thing is that I move every day, and this helps me feel good," she says. The grandmother also adds that she "can also skillfully move around the hoop."

In China, the elderly pay great attention to sports. From early morning to late at night, it is common to see people in cities and villages doing tai chi gymnastics, actively exercising on exercise machines in public squares, or dancing to music on the main streets. This once again confirms that the secret to a long and healthy life for the elderly in the country is an active lifestyle.

Sister Li's selfless training and example have aroused a positive mood throughout China. Her story proves that not only health, but also courage and movement are the most important “vitamins” for life.
