On Thursday, it got very, very hot again in Fuyang in eastern China; night temperatures barely dropped to 30 degrees. These three elderly gentlemen are looking to cool off in the shade of a park on Lindai Road – with the help of their fans. At around the same time, the National Health Commission of the People’s Republic published the information that the average life expectancy in China has now reached 78.6 years. In Germany, it is currently 78.2 years for men and 83 years for women.
