2003年6月16日 廣州 - 廣東省湛江市徐聞縣有個遠近聞名的“長壽村”叫金土村。這個有2000余村民的沿海漁村,80以上老人有150多人,其中超過90的95人,百雖以上壽星7人,年齡最高的108。 金土村西臨北部灣,佔地面積0.12平方公裡。近日,記者慕名來到這個濱海村莊,村幹部王春卓把村裡的老人介紹給我們:101雖的武洪家還能穿針縫衣,93的武學道吹笛子婉轉動聽,80多的武家平在村裡領隊舞獅,王春卓的父親今年95了,紅光滿面,常常下地幹活。(chinesenewsnet.com) 漫部在金土村,仿彿走進一個綠色的世界,茅屋掩映在綠樹之中,鳥歌嬋鳴,清風習習,令人心曠神怡。村裡上百年的榕樹、刺桐樹、英公岸樹隨處可見,還有9口上百年的古井,其中的6口井,井水至今清淨甘甜。金土村三面環山,村後傍依著大海。村民們出海捕魚、下田耕作、栽菜種果。由於靠海,這裡的人們除了幾乎每天都吃魚蝦,平時吃的多是番薯粗糧拌有少許大米和蔬菜。 Copyright © 2002 Global
