If you ever wanted to know how people multi-task, read this story and you will know what I am talking about. Well, I am not giving away any life hacks or tips; I am talking about myself because as I write this story, I am packing my bags to move to China.Β
Why? Because China seems to have a secret fountain of youth or a magic pill hidden somewhere, which stops your ageing and lets you look the same, no matter how old you grow. Plus, the country seems to have such great work culture that people end up staying in the same place for not months or some years, but decades.Β

We are not exaggerating, guys. We are talking about China's 'ageless goddess', 44-year-old Yang Dan, who has been a weather reporter for the state broadcaster CCTV for 22 years now. The weather might have drastically changed in the past 22 years, but their weather girl still looks the same and can easily pass off as a regular 20-year-old on her 1st day at work.Β

For those who think it's not that big a deal? Let's break it down like this. She started her job as a broadcaster in 1996, some of us weren't even born by that time, few of her us were crawling on the floor. The concept of smartphones and internet was still alien to us. In fact, forget smartphones, we were using mobile phones that probably weighed more than a dumbbell.Β

American President Donald Trump was still a businessman and completely unaware of the fact that he will rule a country someday. The first installment of 'Mission: Impossible' was also released that year. While, we have come a long way from that time and Yang Dan has witnessed it all, she seems to have accidently pressed the button that stops one's ageing.Β

Internet is clearly left baffled after they came to know about her and we can understand why. It all started when a video of Yang Dan went viral. It was shared on International Women's Day with the caption, βMany web users have grown up watching her show. They marveled why they have grown older but she hasn't. What's more? It appears she is younger and younger.β The video was a timeline of her 22 years of work. In fact, many are now contemplating whether they recorded all her videos in the same day again? Or she is a time traveller or a vampire?

No matter how strict a diet plan or health regime you follow to be in the best shape, there's no way you can look like the way you did 20 years back. Thanks to this, we can easily dodge our old annoying classmates, whom we never want to meet again.Β

But, in Yang Dan's case, even a random stranger will know it's her, no matter which yearbook's picture he refers to. In fact, she looks younger that she did two decades ago. Yang was reportedly born in November 1973 and graduated from the Beijing Broadcasting Institute in 1995.
Who knows someone else might talk about the 'ageless goddess' 20 years from now and how she hasn't changed at all.Β Β
Now you all can go back to counting your grey hair and plucking them out.Β
