Got that Friday feeling? Even if you're not near a dance floor, Liu Jianghua from Wusu is showing us that age is just a number. 🤸♀️ After retiring from her day job, she rallied friends and launched an amateur dance troupe that's injecting fresh energy into her hometown's streets.
Then came Mayila Yasin, the choreographer whose moves could give your favourite K-pop idols a run for their money. 💃 Liu first saw Mayila teaching a local kids' hip-hop class, and knew she had found the perfect creative spark. Together, they blend Liu's life experience with Mayila's modern beats—picture grandma nailing a viral TikTok dance challenge with total confidence.
Of course, it hasn't been all footloose and fancy-free. Liu juggled family duties to squeeze in late-night rehearsals, and Mayila navigated community expectations to chase her passion. But every dropped beat and broken world record? Worth every second for the smiles and cheers they get performing in public squares—from Wusu's parks to city festivals across the region.
CGTN's A Tale of My City: Wusu premieres on September 24. Whether you're streaming on your phone between lectures or watching during a snack break, Liu and Mayila's story is a reminder to chase your passions at any age. ⭐
