Turn it down you old ladies
It’s that time of year again! The Chinese college entrance examinations or Gaokao are upon us and Chinese parents and high school students are on edge. Despite the tense nature of the time, old Chinese ladies continue to dance their dances in public squares. This dancing has drawn the ire of parents of students that are preparing for the Gaokao. In Beijing’s Fengtai district, parents went so far as to call the police to get the ladies to stop dancing during this period. Unfortunately, the old ladies weren’t taking any of it. After being told to turn off their music, the ladies just turned the music down a little and continued to dance on.
