Eighty-five-year-old Li Jisheng is believed as the oldest model at art schools in China.

　　Li came from a small village in Taikang, in central China’s Henan Province, and has now been working at the Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts as a model for almost ten years.

　　As a teaching model Li spends five days a week striking different poses during portrait and painting classes.

　　Li says that, as an elderly model, he doesn’t have the pressure of maintaining his appearance.

　　Many students think that Li has a unique character and style lacking in many young people.
