I think I can answer this question with an example from around me, my father-in-law died at the ripe old age of 94. Typical end of life, he died in his sleep in a nursing hospital. He was young when he opened a pharmacy, seventy years old retired transfer store, a little spare money their own retirement, every morning to go to the restaurant morning tea, drinking tea and chatting with old friends, ten o'clock home, twelve o'clock, their own simple to do a lunch, meat with vegetables. Napping, three o'clock in the afternoon, afternoon tea, watching TV, chatting. Dinner is barbecued pork with rice and vegetables. Once a week, I make my own soup. Thanks to Hong Kong's health care, the elderly every three months there is a routine checkup to see if the body has recovered, there is no other discomfort, a few thousand dollars a year health care vouchers for minor illnesses, colds and back pain can go to a private clinic with. So there is no mainland, usually do not go to the hospital to check, once uncomfortable check is a serious illness difficult to treat the situation. There is also a disease hospitalization and treatment costs are low, capped at 120 per day. Of course it is a public hospital! Then there is social welfare, the elderly in their old age dementia, and mobility problems do wheelchair, the Social Welfare Department twice a week door to door to the elderly to do rehabilitation therapy, including massage, and bathing. The cost is about a dozen dollars per visit for a nominal fee. The care is very comprehensive! On the whole, there are three aspects: first, late retirement, regular life, second, very good medical support, and then the implementation of social welfare measures in place. So longevity is no longer a problem. In the Mainland, all aspects of life have improved significantly, so life expectancy has risen very quickly!
Hong Kong people's longevity and Japanese longevity, there are three major **** the same characteristics. First, the social health care system is perfect, the level is also high, unlike the mainland hospitals to buy drugs for a living quacks too much harm. Secondly, high standard of living and good urban environment. Thirdly, what the general public has not noticed is that the price index is high and food is too expensive, so the general public do not have enough to eat. A bowl of noodles in Hong Kong costs 50 dollars, and it is a small bowl, and it costs 80 to 100 dollars for a big bowl. Eating only half-full is actually a sign of good health. Our mainland prices are cheap, and now that people are better off, they like to eat a lot and drink a lot of bad liquor. However, as people's standard of living improves and their sense of health becomes stronger and stronger, eating less will slowly become the mainstream.
I'm glad to answer this question, I live in Hong Kong for seven or eight years, do not like the living environment there, now married most of the time live in Shenzhen, anyway, it is the two sides of the living it. Hong Kong people's life expectancy is higher than elsewhere, to talk to you about my personal views, I think there are mainly 4 aspects
1, Hong Kong's social welfare is good, want to go to work, do not want to go to work can apply for the government to support, take the low-cost chanting, is to protect the basic needs of life, and even more than the birth of a child the government have to support the school is also free of charge, so they do not have the pressure to go to work, no need to worry about every day, do not have to be for the The government has also provided free schooling, so they don't have to worry about it every day. They don't have to worry about buying a house and becoming a slave to the government, but they can apply for government housing. The happiness index of life is higher than us, can not live long?
2, Hong Kong's medical care, it is said that Hong Kong's medical care in the world are considered on the top of the world, second only to the United States in other individual areas of the world's first, so many rich people will choose to go to Hong Kong to do surgery or something like that, so good medical conditions to protect, of course, will protect their health, live a long time Well
3, Hong Kong people's diet, Hong Kong people's diet like boiled or steamed, like Hong Kong people's diet, Hong Kong people's diet like to boil or steam, like light, like to drink soup, such a way of eating is very healthy. Unlike our mainland like heavy flavors, stir-fry, spicy, more like barbecue, hot pot type, this is very hurt the body, long-term eating habits lead to health problems easily.
4, family, Hong Kong homes are generally smaller, the children are older, they go out and live alone, no disputes between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law children conflicts, Hong Kong, the elderly generally do not help their sons and daughters to bring up the children, their own old age are enjoying life, travel tours, climbing the mountain, a slow pace of life. The old have government support, do not need to worry about the old age life, live free from worry.
According to the data released by the World Health Organization, the world's longest life expectancy in the region is Japan, the island. The next region is Hong Kong, China.
Data from the World Health Organization
As we know, Hong Kong's housing prices have risen to the sky, the data of various statistical agencies will be different, but the data released by most of the statistical agencies show that Hong Kong's housing prices are the first expensive in the world, and the pressure of life can be imagined. So why is the per capita life expectancy so high in Hong Kong, China, where housing prices are so high and the pressure of living is so great?
First of all, we have to figure out that there are several factors that affect life expectancy, including superior material life, advanced medical care, good medical services, and the subjective thinking of people.
Hong Kong is one of the world's four major financial centers, and its social affluence and material richness need no introduction. With a total land area of 1104.32 square kilometers under the jurisdiction of Hong Kong Island and a GDP of US$320.9 billion in 2016, Hong Kong ranked third in the list of Chinese cities, surpassed by Shenzhen in 2017. Hong Kong's financial strength is superb, and its total capitalization likewise ranks third in the country, after Beijing and Shanghai.
Secondly, Hong Kong's medical conditions, in the world is also considered advanced, many people in the Mainland, especially Shenzhen people who are sick, like to run to Hong Kong. These are actually not the most important, the ultimate want is Hong Kong people's spiritual world is very rich, cheerful, lively, and love sports.
According to some data, Hong Kong people walk on average 30 minutes per person per day, and walking is the best aerobic exercise.
The Japanese, who have the highest life expectancy, also love sports, and while Japan is a powerhouse of automobiles, Japanese nationals love to walk, and many of them are passionate about the fitness of walking 10,000 steps a day. So, according to some research organizations, the love of sports is one of the main reasons why the average life expectancy of Japanese people is among the highest in the world today.

Hong Kong's high per capita life expectancy is due to the city's efficient and inexpensive healthcare system and food culture.
2020 Hong Kong Canyon's longest life average of 88 years old tops the global list.
Hong Kong has the world's most advanced medical equipment and medicines. The public **** health care system is perfect, doctors selflessly for the patient treatment, make the appropriate program to serve the patient-oriented, single-minded medical ethics and medical heart.
Hong Kong people admitted to the hospital sick in public hospitals hospitalization of 120 Hong Kong dollars per day, including all the drugs, doctor's fees, examination fees, surgical fees, three meals meals, accompanied by nursing and so on.
The Hong Kong Department of Health is committed to the principle of "no one should be denied adequate medical treatment due to lack of means", and there is no need to pay a deposit for hospitalization.
If you are discharged from the hospital with financial difficulties and cannot afford to pay even $120, you can apply for a waiver.
In Hong Kong, routine child healthcare from birth, student healthcare, dental care for school children to medical checkups for the elderly are all free. The doctor will follow up on every checkup for the child's medical needs and refer any problems immediately to a specialist for further treatment. The Student Health Service will also make appointments with primary and secondary school students to do one to two physical health checkups per year, ranging from hearing, eyesight, height, blood pressure, blood glucose, nutrition, routine checkups, dental checkups, and so forth, to provide health care for all of them.
Hong Kong's annual healthcare expenditure accounts for about 20% of the government's recurrent expenditure. The government's strong investment in healthcare, the top-notch medical skills of doctors, and a variety of advanced medical equipment are all key factors in increasing longevity per capita.
Hong Kong's food culture, Hong Kong likes to eat light food, food safety quality control is guaranteed, often drink soup throughout the year, according to the season to boil health soup to drink, eat imported fruits.
Hong Kong people also like to drink tea a cup or two, blowing water sighs the world, enjoy life, although housing is almost, long working hours, pressure, but Hong Kong people know how to enjoy life, a vacation will go out to play, relax themselves and enjoy life.
The government introduced the Elderly Health Care Voucher Scheme for Hong Kong residents aged 65 or above, which provides a choice of private healthcare services for the elderly with health needs. The scheme enables the elderly to see a private doctor when they are sick, and has a positive impact on rehabilitation and prevention of diseases, and strengthens the promotion of health and primary healthcare, resulting in a higher life expectancy per capita for the elderly.
Hong Kong doctors are actively engaged in the medical treatment of every patient, no matter if they are in their 80s or 90s, they make professional judgments, and if they need to operate, they do it right away, minimizing the risk, and putting the patient's right to health in the first place.
In Hong Kong, there is no doctor-patient conflict, the government has a very strict regulatory system for doctors, Hong Kong doctors practice ethics and practice discipline is also very strict. Doctors have high and stable incomes, and their aim is to serve patients, help patients, and have a relationship of mutual trust between patients.
Hong Kong, the Pearl of the Orient in China, is one of the most prosperous metropolises in Asia.
To answer the question of why Hong Kong's per capita life expectancy is high, I think there are a few points:
1. First of all, in terms of the external environment, Hong Kong is one of the safest metropolises in the world, and especially after the handover of Hong Kong to China, it has become more stable and prosperous. A safe and stable society, free from turmoil and war, is the main reason why people can live a long life.
2. Hong Kong's geographic location, in the subtropical region, and close to the sea, surrounded by the sea on three sides, the temperature is more suitable for a year, there is no particularly hot weather, so the environment can make people live longer.
3, Hong Kong's medicine is particularly developed, medical equipment, medical insurance is more complete, the citizens of the medical treatment is more fair, a large number of medical resources to ensure the health of Hong Kong people.
4, Hong Kong people's eating habits, pay attention to diet is to ensure the health of the body is one of the reasons, eating a light diet, control your mouth, do not eat junk food, you can make life a little longer.
5, work habits can also make people live longer, Hong Kong is a fast-paced society, young people work more passionate, competitive pressure caused by the work of active and serious responsibility. When the passion for work into a habit, you can form a better way of life. As the saying goes: Sickness comes from laziness. The right amount of work will make people energetic, such as Hong Kong Superman Li Ka-shing, almost 90 years old, still look so spiritual!
6. To summarize: as long as the above basic factors are in place, and there are no major accidents, it is difficult for Hong Kong people not to live a long life.
I have been living in Luohu for 25 years, and the hospital where I work is close to the Huangan Port, so many of my neighbors and my patients are Hong Kong people. Why is Hong Kong's per capita life expectancy so high? I will talk about maybe not quite the same view as everyone else.
1, Hong Kong's air quality is high, which is recognized, because many Hong Kong-owned factories are built in Shenzhen and mainland China.
2, dietary structure and habits, which is the most important factor affecting health. Hong Kong people eat a light diet less spicy, rarely fried food, to steamed food more. At the same time, they make soup every day, drink soup, and make soup with different kinds of medicinal herbs, one is to nourish the body, and the second is to drink soup before meals is conducive to the absorption of the stomach and intestines, so that meals can be eaten a little less, reducing the burden on the stomach. Eat less and drink more tea, and hardly drink white wine. Our continent has the highest mortality rate of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, which should have a certain relationship with dietary habits.
3. Most Hong Kong people are optimistic.
4, I said I understand the Hong Kong medical, Hong Kong health care developed, medical system and level is recognized, it is also divided into public hospitals and private hospitals. But if someone is sick, see private hospitals are too expensive, the average person simply can not accept, that net about public hospitals less than a few months more than one to two years before he can see the disease, so the Hong Kong people to see the doctor is difficult to be recognized. So many people to Shenzhen hospitals to see a doctor, one is convenient, two is cheap. Many of my Hong Kong patients had no or few medical check-ups in the past. Unfortunately, some of the cervical, breast and uterine ovarian cancers found during our medical check-ups have already reached the middle to late stages. It is different in the Mainland. For example, the Shenzhen government requires all Maternal and Child Health Centers and grass-roots hospitals to provide regular and free two-cancer screening and basic medical check-ups for women in the appropriate age group every year. Now that the public is more aware of medical checkups on the mainland, it's easier to get to the doctor's office.
These are my personal views, and I'm happy to discuss them with you***.
I am in the Pearl River Delta and often go to Hong Kong. 1. Hong Kong is a small place with a high density of hospitals and fast emergency care. Medical conditions are very advanced, and many chronic diseases can be well controlled 2. Most Hong Kong people's homes are relatively small, so in addition to sleeping time, basically working outside or shopping. Walking a lot of roads, walking is the best exercise 3, Cantonese people love tea, Hong Kong people are also considered Cantonese, tea and afternoon tea is not the main thing to eat, but between old friends blowing water, chatting, expressing mood. 4, Hong Kong people live a stressful life, many elderly people also have a job, live to work to the old I think the main thing is these points. Environmental stuff quality words and developed countries in Europe is not much worse, so do not say.
We live in Shenzhen, separated from Hong Kong by a stretch of water, we are surrounded by many Hong Kong people, I think the main reasons are as follows:
1, Hong Kong houses are very expensive, most of the houses are as large as pigeonholes. The house is just a place to sleep, Hong Kong's public **** facilities are doing very well, Hong Kong people after tea and dinner more time in the outdoor chat or exercise, Hong Kong people have time to like to run, and we mainlanders prefer to stay at home and do not move, like to exercise less, most of the young people have time to more like to play with the phone or sleep. These two completely different living conditions have a great impact on life expectancy.
2, Hong Kong taxi is very expensive, there is no **** enjoy the bike, Hong Kong people are not in a hurry, like walking, walking is the best way to exercise.
3, Hong Kong people generally eat very ordinary and light, very little like us mainlanders big fish and meat, high sugar and salt and high fat, in the Hong Kong drama we see, often hear: hungry, want to cook a bowl of noodles for you? As a matter of fact, Hong Kong people's three meals are indeed solved by a bowl of noodles. Hong Kong people have never reached the level of our mainlanders who go in and out of the buffet with the help of a wall. Hong Kong three high people are also less than our mainland.
4, Hong Kong does not have any industry, air pollution is less, less radiation, so less cardiovascular disease. There are also fewer children with asthma and allergies.
5. Hong Kong's medical resources are relatively tight, and there are fewer cases of overmedication.
6. Many Hong Kong seniors are still working at a very old age, and their brains and bodies are in motion.
Therefore, Hong Kong people, living a relatively simple life, food and housing are also simple, the air is good, the medical conditions are good, coupled with appropriate exercise, naturally longer life.
A person's life to work at the age of work, to retire at the age of retirement, don't wait until the age of 30 is still not working, 65 is still working interesting? Even if you are given to live to 100 years old but you work to 99 years old, this is not completely against the "enjoyment of family life" this few words? Hong Kong people are typical of those who live to be 100 and work until they are 99. People in their 60s are still driving rentals, and most of them live in houses that are only 10 square meters or so, and they have to walk more than 10 kilometers when they go out, and they all walk very fast, and they have high consumption, and they have to spend hundreds of dollars to buy a few dishes at random. Equivalent to every moment in the exercise, high-calorie food can not afford to eat, so life can not be long? Then look at our mainland, basically 55 years old after most people do not work ah home with grandchildren, all kinds of land usually nothing to play cards, food, not to mention that most people have meat every day to eat, from time to time to add menu, chicken ah duck ah and so on. The main thing is that the grandchildren are brought up by their own feelings, even if you give you live to 75 years old, you feel worth it.
