Yes, a year ago, national-level actress Chen Zhiping, one of the "Five Golden Flowers" of Shanghai Opera, began to "fight" with square dancers. For eight months, whenever night falls, the 55-year-old Shanghai opera performer would frequently appear in Shanghai's parks, subway entrances, shopping malls and other public **** places, observing the square dancers here.

Beginning this year, Chen submitted a written opinion titled "Combining guidance and relaxation to make Chinese amazons' old age colorful" to the Shanghai Municipal People's Congress (SMPC). This opinion, up to 7,000 words, in addition to analyzing the current situation and causes of square dancing, but also put forward thoughts and suggestions. Her other identity is the Shanghai Municipal People's Congress. "Big mom square dance is a cultural phenomenon, has its reason for existence and the inevitability of development, the advantages and disadvantages are equally obvious." Chen said, "I hope that through everyone's efforts to make square dancing out of the predicament."

One afternoon in March last year, Chen was invited to participate in an opera salon. The organizer, "for the sake of peace and quiet", deliberately chose the location in the suburbs of Shanghai in an "artistic atmosphere" of the old factory building. Halfway through the salon, a burst of rhythmic dance music suddenly sounded outside the factory. The sound went through the broken glass windows and reverberated in the empty factory.

The people inside the factory looked at each other in dismay, and a few of them tried to continue discussing the topic, but were unable to speak a complete sentence under the interference of the powerful dance music. The salon is attended by "big mothers" who love opera. "Those who spoke couldn't speak well, and the others couldn't hear clearly." Chen recalled. "After a short period of silence, the amahs inside the plant began to criticize the square-dancing amahs outside the plant. They rushed out of the plant and decided to "reason with them".

"It's hard for us to find such an open space, and it's not your home, so why should you be in charge of a dance?" After dancing a song, a dancing woman to these "smash scene" looks very impatient. After an exchange of words, the two sets of amazons are at odds with each other, abusive voices, shouting mixed in the dance, "is a farce". In the end, the salon dispersed unhappily, the opera amazons left unhappy. "Unpleasant and unpleasant." Chen reviving Ping is reluctant to mention this incident too much, "are older people, this kind of thing is too embarrassing."
