The latest Chinese “god song”(an Internet term to describe pop songs that spread virally(病毒性地) through Internet) is still stirring fierce debate between those who view it as a milestone for Chinese pop music going global and those who regard it as bad for China’s image.

Last week，Little Apple，written and performed by the Chopsticks Brothers，won the AMA International Song Award and the_duo_performed the song at the 2014 American Music Awards in Los Angeles.Another Chinese pop singer，Zhang Jie，won the International Artist Award.

But while fans of these singers are thinking highly of the awards and the performance by the Chopsticks Brothers at the AMA celebration as significant，there are others who are less excited.They have questioned the value of the awards and what effect it will have on Chinese culture’s “going abroad”，claiming it may leave foreign audiences with a poor impression of Chinese pop music，and even Chinese culture.

The Little Apple phenomenon，both home and abroad，can be more easily understood and judged if we look at it from a business perspective rather than a cultural perspective.The professional promoters behind the duo have developed a clear strategy to promote the duo and their work，not just this particular song.Little Apple was originally released to promote the duo’s film Old Boys：The Way of the Dragon.

From the very beginning a viral marketing strategy was used to promote the song，which immediately went viral on the Internet due to its repetitive rhythm，easy-to-remember lyrics，simple and funny dance and，most importantly，grassroots nature.The video accumulated more than 1 billion hits on China’s major video website.

Although the song was generally dismissed by music professionals who criticized it as musical “junk food”，Little Apple’s popularity nationally paved the way for promoting the duo internationally.

Nearing the age of 101 has not slowed down one Japanese woman.In fact，in the swimming pool—she is only getting faster.

Recently，a 100-year-old Japanese woman became the world’s first centenarian to complete a 1,500-meter freestyle swimming competition in a 25-meter pool.

Her name is Mieko Nagaoka.Ms.Nagaoka set a world record for her age group at a recent Japan Masters Swimming Association event in the western city of Matsuyama.She swam the race in 1 hour,15 minutes and 54 seconds.

By comparison，the overall female world record holder completed the same distance in just under 15 and a half minutes.But that swimmer，Katie Ledecky，is only 17 years old.And Ms.Nagaoka was not competing against her.In fact，Ms.Nagaoka was the only competitor in the 100－104 year old category.Her race was not a race of speed but of endurance，or not giving up.

records.But she began competing when she was much younger—at 88.

Ms.Nagaoka suffered a knee injury in her 80s，so she began swimming to help her body recover.Since her first international swimming competition，she hasn’t looked back，except maybe to see if her competition is catching up.

In 2002，at a masters swim meet in New Zealand，Ms.Nagaoka took the bronze medal in the 50-meter backstroke.In 2004，she won three silver medals at an Italian swim meet.

Masters swimming is a special class of competitive swimming to promote health and friendship among participants.Swimmers compete within age groups of five years.

Japan has a large number of people who live beyond 100 years old.Until she passed away this month，the oldest person in the world was also from Japan.Misao Okawa was born in 1898.She said her secrets for longevity，or long life，were good genes，regular sleep，sushi and exercise.

I’m 30 years old，and there are several things that life has taught me that I want to share with you.Here are the 4 lessons that life has taught me in the past 30 years.

1．Take care of your body

Life is “unfairly” biased(偏向的) towards people who “look good”，like it or not.So it’s important that you do all that is in your power to look your best. 8 You will live longer，and you will live happier，if you take care of your body；you may even get promoted faster on your job.Remember that your health is really your greatest wealth.

2． 9

No one taught me to save when I was growing up；no one told me the importance of saving.Fortunately I was able to learn the value of saving through reading great books like “The Millionaire Next Door”．What I want to teach others is to save at least twenty percent of your income.If you are to be wealthy，you must not just earn a lot，you must save a lot.

3．Think in the long term

In high school I was thinking about college；in college I was thinking about life after college.I’m designing my life and I’m making decisions today that will enable me to live the life I desire when I’m in my 40’s,50’s and 60’s.You have to think in the long term；you have to see the “big picture”． 10

4．Realize the power of focus
