Hong Kong is a great place to grow old?

Apparently, a combination of Tai chi, mahjong sessions, 'yum cha' (eating dim sum and drinking Chinese tea) and other routines, has contributed to a healthy and long life.

But what appeals to me was a quote by a senior HK minister:

“Just being given the opportunity to work for my fellow citizens is already a great honour for me that does not need to be waxed with any high salary. I cannot bring the high salary with me to my grave, but I can leave this Earth with the greatest satisfaction that I have helped my fellow citizens, and I will leave behind my humble honour in Hong Kong’s history books.”

How we wish our political leaders share similar views.
