Chasing the Dragon

The old/new word on the global market street is "the Chinese are coming, The Chinese are coming!" But who knew they were so far ahead of the States in geriatric talent?

This Chinese grandma known as "Auntie Cool", is shaking up Beijing with her breakdancing. [Turn your speakers on for that last link! Can anyone name that tune besides my sister?]

She seems to be just an ordinary, well-adjusted person, with an ordinary life:
"Jin's ex-husband was persecuted for his political views in 1957. He was taken away from home to be re-educated through hard labour."

Who knows what was the pivotal moment in her life that brought her to breakdancing. Did someone dare her to speed up Tai Chi practice?
"A retired factory worker, she has forged a new career in her golden years as a dance teacher and elderly fashion model."
