"I've been active for as long as I can remember. Growing up in Fujian, China, I lived near a university, and would watch the students running, playing sports, and working out. Seeing them move like that left an impression on me, and I think that's where my interest in staying active began."
"I didn't think much about aging back then, but I always felt health was important. When I moved overseas, I quit smoking completely. I haven't touched a cigarette since, and I don't drink alcohol either. I spent most of my career in the jewelry business. In 2010, I transitioned to working for the company part-time, handling export documentation and running errands."
"Even though we're older, we're serious about working out and staying healthy. A lot of people are surprised when they see what we can still do. That's why we're sometimes invited to share what we do with other seniors to encourage them to keep moving."
Ngai Hin Kwok, 76, has maintained an active lifestyle since childhood, inspired by observing university students exercising in his native Fujian. After moving to Hong Kong and later Singapore, he prioritized fitness through running and walking while building a career in the jewelry business. He quit smoking upon relocating overseas and continues working part-time because he remains physically capable. Seeking community and continued motivation, he joined Team Strong Silvers at a local seniors' gym. Despite his age, he performs advanced exercises including muscle-ups and participates in demonstrations encouraging other seniors to maintain active lifestyles.
