As I was walking through the winter park, a noise in the background is becoming louder and clearer. Now, 100 meters ahead, is a group of women gathered at the sides of a path. In the cold breeze of winter, they’re moving their arms and legs to a rhythm. 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 made me interested. 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.Some people find them annoying. But others respect their right to dance in public. With most of them middle-aged, they finally have some free time to do whatever they like. There is no more work, and their kids have left.

Personally, 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 is their time to have fun and enjoy some peace.
