Features: Featured guest on CCTV's East Timely, Focus Interview, and multiple television programs, delivering over 1,000 health knowledge lectures from central government agencies to all parts of the country. His books have sold millions of copies and are hailed by readers as the "Bible of Health." After the SARS epidemic, health education should be more comprehensive and detailed in promotion. Through health education, it is hoped to further enhance the enthusiasm for physical activity among the public, help people bid farewell to unhealthy habits, maintain good hygiene, foster a positive mindset, popularize health knowledge, promote nationwide fitness, and approach every day with a healthy attitude.

I want to correct a misconception: Entrepreneurs and civil servants should not work while sick. If they feel unwell, they must take a break in time or seek medical attention. Moreover, I advocate that minor injuries should be treated promptly. A stretched string that is too tight will inevitably break. For a long time, those who "dedicated themselves to work" have been the role models of society, yet such life-draining struggles have led to countless "early deaths."

Life is like climbing a mountain. Before middle age, one should strive to climb as high as possible. After middle age, when physical functions gradually cease to develop, "descending the mountain" must be done more slowly. Currently, I am seizing the tail end of youth to maintain good physical strength and condition, so that I can slowly "descend the mountain."

Life should come with responsibility. It not only belongs to oneself but also to the country, society, parents, and family. Therefore, everyone must take responsibility for their own lives. For me, except for the highest national interests, such as war, where a man of honor can disregard his own life, there is no need to sacrifice one's life for work or career.

Life is a marathon, and one cannot run a marathon at the speed of a 100-meter dash.
