Not one to rest on his laurels, Li Changhe has taken on a new job.
Li, 75, is listed as the elderly volunteer with the longest record of service by the World Record Association, a Hong Kong-based institution that records non-sporting and folk records, according to the Qilu Evening News.
Li volunteered to work in the Qingdao Library in Shandong province from 2002 to 2009. He is also a member of a volunteer team serving "empty nest" elderly.
Now Li has started giving free haircuts to his neighbors and former colleagues.
"I am a meddler. I frequently write to the government offices about my opinions on the city's infrastructure and city construction," Li said.
