LIFESTYLE

Jordon Shinn, 28, US

In a local public park, groups of middle-aged Chinese women dance in rows in loud music. Next to the big lake, some people are playing different instruments, like guitar, violin and erhu. Two women sing along to the music in Cantonese(粵 語(yǔ)).

At that time, I feel like I am in a public park in China.
