People Live Seventy, Rare

Such idea is not fit in modern day, but it was so popular in Chinese ancient time. At that time people who lived up to seventy were very few.
Centuries ago in China, if you are sixty, you went to relatives’ home for a visit, but they would not let you stay overnight, fearing that you might die in the night.
At seventy, relatives would not ask you to have a lunch, thinking you might choke in the eating process.
But what we do not understand today is that at that time the air was so fresh, no pollution, no poison in agriculture product, food is so pure, with no chemical elements at all.
Today people of seventy, they will be regarded to later middle age. They can still take heavy responsibly, even todays American President now at seventy-eight.
