I remember reading a report that a friend who was as worried as I was once sent "crazy" emails and text messages to friends and relatives scattered around the world asking, "What do the grandparents do to exercise in your area?" My friend in Tokyo replied, "Old ladies here don't exercise much, they arrange flowers and drink tea, and grandpas have dogs and pick up their yards." A friend in Seoul answered, "Old ladies in Seoul go hiking every week, with three or two friends." A friend in Helsinki says, "Jogging, swimming or picking berries in the forest in the summer and skiing in the winter. However, Helsinki is a special case, here you can walk a few steps to the forest." ? A friend in San Francisco said, "My mom goes to a club every other day to do yoga, and on the road I often see old people jogging and walking their dogs. ......" From this, we can see that fitness is not a necessity in the world of the elderly, and even if it is, there is definitely more than just one way to do it: square dancing. So why do Chinese seniors love square dancing? I think it's because of cultural differences, each country's lifestyle is different, and the pace of life is different, leading to the elderly in the choice of ways to cultivate the body and mind will be different, sociologists say that the root of this phenomenon is that in a particular era of growing up in China's elderly people are y fond of noisy collective activities. The ear-splitting noise of present-day square dancing is a sound-memory bridge to an idealized past. In fact, in the 1960s, young people were often "baptized" by tweeters in schools, factories and villages, so the concept of decibels was almost fuzzy. I think more and more older Chinese people are joining square dancing more to satisfy their socialization needs beyond fitness. That for the reasons of foreign women do not love to dance square dance, I think it is also a different way of life, after all, the world is so big, do not necessarily have to be unified ah, belonging to their own country's health of the beauty of the country does not necessarily allow other countries to accept.
