I'm afraid it's hard for you to get a visa, as there are legal retirement age in China.

It is difficult and I doubt whether you can do it in the normal way. There are some possibilities you might try:
1 Contact the visa agents that advertise in here and other places and see if any can help you.
2. You can legally work on an F, a business visa, if you are employed overseas or by a business in China funded from overseas. ie you are seconded or supplied on contract and invoiced. However, I think you will only get 1 year at the time. And if the conditions I mentioned are not automatically applicable to your situation it is likely to be difficult to arrange a contract unless the employer is very flexible and really wants you, and of course is not government.
3. A grey area similar to 2, is again thru an agent who will help arrange an F through local contacts: in which case it is not strictly legal to work but many people do ( I have!)

Good luck, feel free to ask more...but as I am not in here often these days u can email me. I'll send my email addr to your TCG mailbox

And PLEASE post your outcomes here so that others can benefit.
