    actually, based on my direct experience with a number of old (80+) Chinese sifu, the secret to longevity appears to be related to smoking at least a pack a day, cussing freely, gambling without restraint, and drinking with moderate abandon; but that's just me...

    well, i know us of eurasian decent - basically russian areas near china, have the same eyes formation for the most part. i remember in 7th grade for example, the teacher would always laugh and say, "oh, u are high aren't you!" becuase of how "squinty" my eyes naturally are. just seems to me that people who are from this area have skinnier eyes.
