At the end of last year, Zhang Baojin was unanimously elected Party chief of Yuanbao village in Shangzhi, Heilongjiang province, at the age of 78.
Before the election, Zhang suggested that the position should be left to younger candidates because of his advanced years and worsening health.
However, in the villagers' minds nobody could replace Zhang, who first became village Party chief in 1980.
