At the end of May, flights from Hainan island, the country’s southernmost point, to its north-eastern provinces bordering Russia are packed with pensioners. Each winter, hundreds of thousands of retired miners, doctors and industrial workers escape the Arctic chill of their homes and spend six months or so in and around sub-tropical Sanya, Hainan’s main resort town.
