Once upon a time, there was a beautiful bird, which was very curious about Hell （地狱）. When she was little, her mother always told her that if she didn't master the flying skills, she would go to Hell. She was so curious about Hell that she always asked others what Hell looked like, but no one was sure, because none of them had ever been there. Some said Hell was a place full of water, and others told her that Hell was full of burning fire. However, the bird knew they were lying. She wanted to find out what Hell was.
When other birds were learning flying skills, she always hid herself and watched them. She thought in this way she could go to Hell and see what Hell looked like. However, she spent so little time learning flying skills that one day she was caught by a little boy. The little boy gave her to his grandpa in the countryside as a gift. The old man liked her very much. He made a delicate cage and put her in it. The bird was very worried because she thought she couldn't find out what Hell was like staying in this small cage. However, she couldn't escape. Day after day, she just stayed in the cage, watching other birds flying. She lost her freedom and she became sadder and sadder. At last, she became ill. The old man finally opened the cage, but she was too weak to fly. Lying on the ground, she thought of the question that she ever asked all the time.

“Many people died in their thirties or forties when I was a child", Chen Zhixiang, an 82-year-old teacher who grew up in Xi'an, told Xinhua. At that time, living to be 60 was a long life.
But that is no longer the case. According to the National Bureau of statistics（国家统计局）, the life expectancy for Chinese people rose from 35 in 1949 to 77 in 2019.
Chen told Xinhua that he rarely ate meat when he was a child. People didn't have enough food and clothing at that time. And anyone who became ill may die.
Now Chinese people are enjoying healthier and more nutritious diets. The grain, meat, peanut and fruit has topped the world for many years, according to the State Council. In 1949, China's per capita disposable income（人均可支配收入）was 49.7 Yuan. This same income reached 28,228 Yuan in 2019. It refers to the amount of money that each person has for spending and saving after paying taxes.
China is also paying more attention to improving people's health. China's medical insurance system covers more than 95 percent of the people.
The country has also made efforts to keep its people healthy with a national health program. As of 2019, China had more than 3.2 million sports venues across the country. Over 400 million people take part in daily exercise.
