China: 'China's greying population: At a funeral in the central Chinese countryside, hundreds of mourners gather, wearing the traditional white colour of death. Tempering the sadness, though, is the fact that the deceased woman was over 100. Among those mourning her was one of her daughters - aged 80. This family's longevity may be quite exceptional. But the fact that people are living longer is a key factor in China's changing population structure.' (BBC)
