How Wen Stays Healthy英文全文：
It wasn't all politics and economy at Sunday's annual press conference with Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao.
At the end of a multipart question on relations between Hong Kong and mainland China, a reporter from Hong Kong's Sing Tao newspaper inquired about Wen's personal well-being.
'Premier, you have been extremely busy for the past several years and many people pay attention to your health. Can you talk about how you continuously maintain your energy for the job?,' the reporter asked.
Wen replied with a touch of humor. 'As far as my health is concerned, everyone can see that I still have lots of energy,' he said, about 90 minutes into the question-and-answer session, drawing smiles from the assembled press corps.
The 67-year-old Wen emphasized the role of regular physical activity in keeping him strong, despite his lack of much free time.
'Even though I'm a person who basically doesn't have holidays, I still like to exercise, whether its taking a walk or going for a swim. It helps me to relax so that I can maintain my vigorous energy to deal with the weighty work,' he said.
Known colloquially across China as 'Grandpa Wen' and the 'People's Premier,' Wen has cultivated an image as an approachable everyman that is rare among China's top leadership. Ahead of the legislative meetings this year, Wen participated in lengthy online chat in which he answered questions submitted by Internet users for the second year in the row, instituting what's set to become an annual tradition.
In the chat, Wen discussed some personal matters, such as that his mother suffered a cerebral hemorrhage after seeing a televised report of Wen having a shoe thrown at him by a German student at Cambridge University last year, and that she still has trouble walking and with her eyesight as a result.
