Meaning of Life-----Chinese retired women

Oct.2nd.2019.

Different people with different value of the life. Some people are pursuing money and power throughout their lives, in their thinking, that is the meaning of life. Some people are pursuing spiritual life throughout their lives, and that is their supreme pursuit. 


What originally motivated me to write this article is that group of Chinese retired women who was called “Chinese Dama” .

The name “Chinese Dama” is group of Chinese women who retired and have got nothing to do. But have got a big special hobby---dancing in any square all over the China. 

Right under my house building, there is smaller square. Dama dancing from 7:00 to 9:00 A.M. and again 19:00--21:00 P.M. every day. Except heavy rain. Sometime, i saw them keep dancing in small raining. I never understand what keep them insisting on dancing there restlessly. Where coming such strong will to drive them doing this things unceasingly? That seemed to be so magic attractive strength existing there.

Some Dama put their little grand children who you can judge maybe three years old or two years old beside careless , but just enjoy their dancing. Dancing draw their attention more than their grandson or granddaughter. That seems go to far their duty.

One of my colleagues shared with me about her mother - in-law who refused to take care of her 5 years old son, just because that time she should be at the square for her favourite dancing.
And you know, my colleague told that time she should be on the way to work. You can see square dancing has got big attractive magic to this grandmother. This is just one of this dama case. 


Every one is looking for the meaning of life, Maybe dancing is the meaning of dama’s life. Without dancing, they might lost the meaning in their life.
