So Chang'e is working for more than four years on the Moon. Is it already a record?

It is the longest surviving lander - still doing science with its UV telescope, the only functioning instrument. The actual longest operating equipment of any kind on the lunar surface was the Apollo 12 ALSEP, parts of which operated from late 1969 to the turn-off in 1977.

The retroreflectors placed during the Apollo missions and also (I think) a Lunakhod mission still work fine.

Well, yes, the reflectors. What should prevent them from working? Probably just the project budgets down here on earth to use them.
Chang'e-3 is an active system. She is taking measurements and pictures and she is actively transmitting to earth.

The Chang'e-3 lander is active again. I observed carrier and data signals on 8496 MHz and 8470 MHz on Feb 5 and Feb 7. Signal characteristics are similar to those shown in my posts from January. Yutu remains silent.

Chang'e-3, still functioning, has been commanded to hibernate while Chang'e-4 lands.

Now imagine if CE3 had a seismometer. Some very long baseline data could have been collected. I hope the Chinese consider this for their future missions.
