He's 105 and still hops on his tricycle to the market. A 96-year-old who never misses his daily chores. Many in their 60s still have thick, dark hair. That's Rugao, eastern China's "World Longevity Town." With 31 centenarians per 100,000 people and a life expectancy of 83.12 years, it's a living lab for healthy aging.

CGTN's Health Talk follows the daily lives of its older residents – from morning tai chi to family meals. Their routines are powerful proof that proactive health isn't just a policy goal; it's a way of life.
