When people see my physique, abs and mental state, no one can believe my age
In 1979, I read an article in a magazine about the benefits of running. That article changed my life and I became addicted to exercise. Today, I am 70 and I have been exercising every single day for 45 years.
When I was 44, the cement factory I worked at closed down. To continue to support my family, I worked as a porter in my home town, Chongqing, in south-west China. For 10 years, I carried refrigerators, washing machines and air conditioners from warehouses to electrical appliance shops, sometimes delivering them to customers’ homes and installing them. I worked 10 hours a day, but that labour-intensive job didn’t stop me exercising.
