Why so many centenarians living in the heart of the Taklamakan desert in Xinjiang, Lop Nor , there is a small village where live many centenarians, it's being called Longevity village. An Uighur girl visits the village and asks an centenarian who is already 104 years old while still working to make local wooden handcrafts, about how he can live this long, he told her because he has many wives...

The village is located right in the very heart of the world second biggest desert, the Taklamakan desert, their ancestors somehow was stuck in a small oasis there and lived there for 100 years, they were found by accident by an outside who ventured into the deep desert and being reported to the government couples of decades ago. polygamy is illegal in China but I guess since they are so isolated and no one really follows the government laws.
