I am walking through the winter park where the trees stand cold and bare (光禿禿的). The yellow leaves have fallen to the ground. Now, a group of women gather at the sides of a path. In the cold winter, they’re moving their arms and legs to a rhythm (節(jié)奏). They are, of course, the dancing aunties.

It seems that if you go to any public space around China, you’re likely to see these dancing aunties. When I first came to China, it was one of the first things that annoyed me. That’s because in Britain dancing in public is not a cultural habit. You won’t see any age group swinging their arms and tapping their feet in a park. Usually, they just take a walk for exercise.

Now and again the dancing aunties have hit the headlines (頭條新聞). Some people find them annoying. But others respect their right to dance in public. Most of them are middle-aged. They finally have some free time to do whatever they like. There is no more work, and their kids have left.

All in all, I like seeing these women enjoying themselves. They remind us of the importance of exercise as we get older. Besides, most of them have raised the whole families. Now it is their time to have fun and enjoy some peace.
