China's remote Bama County is home to a significant number of the worlds oldest people but what is the secret of a long and happy life? Today this remains the eternal unanswered question.

"I don't have any secret of living a long life. You need to be a good person with a balanced mind", says Huang Xu Ping who is currently 113. According to locals, the abundance of "sunshine, clean air and water", is reason for their longevity. But with more and more tourists coming to see them could the trappings of the modern world end their old way of life?

@BabylonRenaissance You must have missed the part where the old man said the secret to long life is being a good person. Your anger toward the USA will probably shorten your life.

I hate how people try to capitalizes on everything even off of people living a long life if anything china should preserve the land and let them live, those people didn't get where they are by being exploited by the government.

I bet that oil that they fry the vegetables in have something to do with it. Green leafy vegetables have fat soluble vitamins that you can only release with a fat. In the U.S. we tend to boil all the nutrients out of our veggies.
