To celebrate Double Ninth Festival, also known as the Chongyang Festival, Shapingba District of Chongqing hosted a golden wedding ceremony for the 15 couples in the district. Yan Chenzhang, 97, and Tang Changfang, 90, are the oldest couple in this event. They have been married for over 70 years.

Yan tells journalists that he keeps a very healthy living style. He always works out for at least half an hour every day since he retired in 1978. Yan has developed his own exercise routine. For example, he would crawl on the ground for about 100 times every day, and use the wardrobe top the do pull-ups.

For all these years, Yan has never stopped working out for a day. Now at the age of 97, he still has a very good appetite and always looks spunky. "Our heath is best blessing for your children," said Yan's daughter, Yan Ruirong.
