Old And Online: China's Aging Internet Explorers

Those aged 50 or older comprise more than 10% of the online population, making them a growing force in cyberspace, as Xinhua reports.

When most of his friends are working in the fields, 53-year-old Jiang Licun is living a life of fame on the internet.

Putting on a headset, Jiang records a popular song on a singing app on his mobile phone and uploads it. Within a few minutes, the song has more than 20 comments and some listeners give him virtual flowers as encouragement.
