Giving meaning to retirement

Aged 80 to 93, performers from Hangzhou rise to fame covering hits

With their gray hair and dark suits, the grassroots vocal group Suiyuan Old Boys has risen to instant fame among residents in Hangzhou with their lively performances of hit songs.

Comprised of four people aged 80 to 93, the group has staged several performances in the Yuhang district in the provincial capital of East China's Zhejiang province. Their performances show how retirees can enjoy their lives after work. Their signature cover songs include You Raise Me Up, originally composed and performed by the Irish-Norwegian duo Secret Garden, and One Day When We Were Young by Austrian tenor Richard Tauber.
