The character on our cover, shou, is the Chinese symbol for longevity. More than just long life, shou is also about good health, prosperity and happiness. It's a popular motif in Chinese homes, paintings, and at weddings and birthdays.
Shou is what Siu Man-cheuk, 100, has, and it can be yours, too, if you follow the secrets he and longevity experts have revealed.
But beyond this week's cover story, shou is what Health Post hopes to help you attain, by sharing the latest and most interesting findings, trends and tips in health, medicine, fitness, nutrition and well-being with you every Tuesday.
It's not difficult to see why shou is the most revered among the five good fortune symbols in Chinese culture. As American writer and philosopher Elbert Hubbard once said: 'If you have health, you probably will be happy, and if you have health and happiness, you have all the wealth you need, even if it is not all you want.'
