"Her emojis have always been direct and simple, but also filled with best wishes," Chen said.
Chen added that many elderly love the idea of sharing articles about health and traditional Chinese medicine, and "Chicken soup for the soul" on the Moments of WeChat.
But as many elderly become more interested in the internet, their children have expressed concern.
"My father is addicted to surfing the internet these days," said Jiang Licun's daughter. "His eyesight is not every good, and I worry that replying messages on the singing platform will be bad for his health."
Zhao Jie, a professor with Anhui University, said that the need for emotional communication and for socializing has prompted many elderly to explore the internet.
"Their children should spend more time with them, and encourage them to go out rather than staying at home," Zhao said. "Their lives will become more abundant with more companionship, and they will rely less on the internet."
