You know it's probably more healthy to live in China than to live in a lot of the western countries that you think are better healthier. See when I come to China and I've been doing it for about 17 years now, I walk a lot more, I exercise a lot more, I'm out and about a lot more, see mainly most Chinese don't jump in a car and go someplace, everybody goes out, you have to walk to the subway, you have to walk to the bus stop. You see, people take public transportation here a lot more than they do in the West, everybody's got a car, sitting in your garage, go outside in the car, you drive three blocks to the grocery store you buy groceries you drive home, you go in and you eat you sit watch TV. Since I've been in China now, this last eight nine months, I haven't watched TV at all. Why bother, there's so many other things to do.

今天我们聊的是，生活在中国，可能要比生活在很多西方国家——很多你以为它们的健康状况理应比较好的国家——更健康。你看，自从我来中国后（已经17年了），我走路的时间多了很多，锻炼的时间多了很多，外出活动多了很多——大多数中国人要去某个地方，不会想着一头钻进汽车里，每个人都喜欢去户外，步行前往地铁站、公交车站。这里的人乘坐公共交通工具的时间远远多于西方人。而在西方（应主要指美加等国），人人都有车，出门就往车库钻，去一趟三条街远的杂货店也要开车。买完东西开车回家，就只剩坐到电视机前边吃边看。要知道，过去这9个月，由于主要待在中国，我完全没看过电视！因为可做的事情太多了。

And that's just it, the Chinese are active in parks, in nightlife, and just regular work. Everybody seems to have a job, everybody is out and about and doing things. And you notice, that I notice that there are basically no fat Chinese people. You see one or two, oh, what was that, two years ago, I was gonna do a video about "searching for a fat person in China". I rode around on my E-bike for 3hrs and I finally found one fat lady, and I was looked at the video after and I thought, really bad taste Gweilo, don't do that. So I just dexed it. The moral of the story is, that you know in the U.S. or Canada you walk down the street, it's hard to find a skinny person. And here, the same thing applies for fat people. So people eat better here in China. Define better, the food tastes amazing, the variety is really wide, but what I mean by better is they eat less meat and more vegetables and fruits and things like that. So they're healthier, the portions are reasonable.

就是这样，中国人总是更积极活跃，比如在公园，比如夜生活，比如日常工作。人人似乎都有工作要做，人人又都喜欢到处走动，做各种事情。然后你会发现——因为我就发现啦，中国人基本上不存在肥胖问题。你平时顶多也就能偶尔遇见一、两位。哦，大概两年前吧，我打算做个“在中国寻找肥胖的人”的视频，我骑着电单车晃悠了3个多小时，才总算看到一位女士，后来我自己一边看录像一边想，“鬼佬你也太没品了”就把它删掉了。提这个故事是想说，想想看在美国或加拿大，你走在街上，要找到一个偏瘦的人有多难。而在这里，情况刚好反过来。这是因为，中国人的饮食更好——至于我对“更好”的定义嘛，当然啦，中国食物美味到神奇，选择也无比丰富，但我所说的“更好”是指他们吃的肉食更少、蔬菜水果之类更多，所以更健康，饮食结构更合理。

Sure, there's all-you-can-eat barbecues, all you can eat and drink. But when Chinese people go to these all you can eat and drink barbecues, they'll eat some meat they'll eat some vegetables though they'll finish it off with fruits, they might have one beer or two beers, or not even drink the alcohol that have a juice or whatever that they've got, maybe a pot or just water. In Canada, that sucker got a business a first night if me and my buddies got in there because we would drink them dry, guaranteed. All-you-can-eat-and-drink? Are you serious? For this price? But the thing is that the Chinese people aren't big drinkers. They do drink. I've seen lots of boys at 9 o'clock in the morning eat and barbecue duck and drinking baijo and you know and they're probably asleep by 2 o'clock in the afternoon. But that''s a very small minority of the people in China. Most of the people that I know, especially the hard-working people in the countryside, they're not as apt to drink as a Canadian, a Swede Ronnie yeah I'm talking about you buddy. They're not drinking like an American, they're not drinking like a Norwegian, or the Irish my god.

当然，这里到处都能找到“吃到饱-喝到饱”的自助烧烤，但当中国人去吃这类烧烤时，他们总会点些肉、再点些蔬菜，一餐结束还要吃点水果，他们或许会喝一两瓶啤酒，或许根本不喝酒，只喝点果汁、灌装饮料，甚至就喝白水。可在加拿大，哪个傻瓜要敢开这种烧烤餐厅，头一个晚上就能被我们哥儿几个干倒闭咯，拍胸脯保证！吃到饱-喝到饱？按这个价格？你当真？（大笑）

可区别就在，中国人不酗酒。当然他们也喝。我偶尔也见过一帮小伙子，早上9点就在那儿吃烧烤、喝白酒，看那样子你就知道他们大概下午2点就起不来了。不过这类人只占中国人当中很小的一部分。至少我认识的绝大多数中国人，尤其是那些乡村里辛勤劳作的人，他们喝酒绝对不会像加拿大人、瑞典人那样——没错罗尼，说的就是你伙计——中国人不会像美国人那样喝酒，也不像挪威人、爱尔兰人那样喝，喔爱尔兰人，我的老天爷……

I know there's gonna be those guys out there, saying yeah but that place is just freakin polluted. Well, I got to give it to you, in places in China, in manufacturing zones and large cities there is a pollution problem, and this causes lung disease, cancers, things like that. And it is a problem. But you see, China is working on that now. They've got more green initiatives than anywhere else in the world. They are pushing electric vehicles. They're putting in more renewable energy sources, windmills, they've got the Three Gorges Dam, they've got the Datengxia Dam in Guangxi Province that actually is going to be the largest concrete constructed dam in the world...

我知道肯定有人要说，“但中国污染大啊”。好吧，这个我不反驳，在中国某些地方，尤其是制造业基地和大都会，确实有污染问题，它导致肺癌等发病率升高，诸如此类……这当然是个问题。但你们要知道，中国在努力解决这些问题。他们的绿化环保项目比世界上其他任何国家都多；他们推广电动车；他们在可再生能源方面投入越来越大，风电、三峡大坝，还有广西的“大藤峡”水坝——这即将成为全球最大的混凝土大坝……

They've got all of these things that they'er doing to try to hit that pollution porblem and beat it down. A country of 1.4 billion people, it's hard. You know it's one of those things that you're growing your industry, you've got manufacturing, you've got all of these things, you gotta have electricity. 

他们已经付出大量努力来治理污染，一个14亿人的国家，还要发展工业，要发展制造业，所有这些哪样都得用电。这可不容易。

Another thing I understand with the Chinese people is they like to take care of themselves. They got a problem, they run to the doctor, and that's a good thing, because it's very inexpensive here. They're more concerned about their health, while being a westerner, it's basically being like, don't worry about it'll be fine, they sort of laze out. But the Chinese are very quick if they've got a problem to go seek medical expertise, so they catch things earlier, they're more on top of things than people in the west.

我对中国人的另一个认识，就是他们更在乎自己的健康。身体一有状况，他们就会去看医生，这当然是件好事，而这里看病也很便宜。作为一个西方人，我们（身体不舒服时）基本就是一种“爱咋咋滴吧，别担心，不会有事的”，然后等着把病“懒”过去。但中国人身体出问题，就会马上去寻求专业救助，因此他们能更快发现问题，也就比西方国家的人更了解、更能掌控自己的身体状况。

So, they eat better, they exercise more, they have more active lives, they drink less... They're just basically healthier people. And you can see because I think I read it here the other day that they have a highter lifespan than Americans now, so they live longer because of the lifestyle that they live.

也就是说，他们吃得更健康，运动得更多，生活更积极，酒还喝得少……他们基本上就是“更健康”的人。我记得前几天读到过的一则报道说，现在中国人的预期寿命也已经比美国人更长了，也就是说，中国人因为他们更健康的生活方式，已经比美国人更长寿。

This place is one of those places that people are healthy, people are happy, people are content. They exercise, they have active lives, they have a good life. All of these things, just make China a nice place because if you got a bunch of people that are healthy and active, it adds to the aura of the place, makes it a funner place to be. And that's basically why I like it here, because China is a fun place to be.

这个国家大概是世界上人民最健康、快乐、满足的地方之一。中国人喜欢锻炼，积极面对美好的生活。而这一切，又都让中国成为一个美好的地方，因为如果你身边都是一群健康而又乐观积极的人，它就会产生一种氛围，让你的生活环境变得十分欢乐有趣。而这大概就是我喜欢这里的原因——待在中国是一件多么有趣的事。
