From the Chinese press

Exercise your way to good health

Bama county in the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region has come to occupy a special place in the minds of Chinese people, because people there are known to lead a healthy and long life. But Bama's reputation seems to have become a curse for its residents as thousands of tourists from across China flock to the county in search of a healthy and long life without following any of the norms that has made its people different, says an article on gmw.cn. Excerpts:

Many of the people making a beeline for Bama in search of "secret health therapy" are obsessed with finding an instant cure for all their ills. People infatuated with "Bama therapy" are looking for cures to ailments that they have contracted by leading the modern way of life. They thus display a mentality which at best is escapist and at worst selfish. They seek instant cures for not only their diseases but also their failings.
