Here is an example, Wang Jiwu, who lived to be 100:
Bags under eyes = lack of punany.
Psalms 144:1
Praise be my Lord my Rock,
He trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle !

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.
wait, u know su dong chen?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...
