Zheng Jiao, a professor in Jiangsu province, celebrated his 110th birthday with 200 friends and students last week.

Many guests at the ceremony held at the prestigious Nanjing University were in their 80s and 90s. Although they were up there in age, they belonged to a younger generation compared with the wheelchair-bound Zheng, a noted biochemist.

Zheng said his secret to longevity is eating three meals a day at fixed times and a good state of mind.
