The "founding major general" Wang Maoquan lived for the first year, still not being blind or deaf, walking steadily, and in good spirits.
Talking about the way to maintain health and longevity, he talked about it, the language was simple, super grounded: "People can't live and don't move." You have to exercise often to get well!"

As he grew older, the old general no longer did heavy physical work, and in his spare time, he walked in the courtyard, listened to the radio, got up in the morning, and the amount of activity for half an hour could not move.
In bad weather, he moved around the house.
After lunch, he would take a quiet "nap" and then go out for a while.
The combination of work and leisure is his constant principle.
