People: Floating high in the sky, 69-year-old paraglider

Besides swimming and cycling, paragliding is another activity that Li Jiaxin, a 69-year-old from Jilin, Jilin province, relishes. The septuagenarian, the oldest female paraglider in the country, has been practicing paragliding for almost 10 years. "I love the adventure of paragliding, but I won't try any risky maneuvers as I don't want to take any chances with safety," Li said.
