A few days ago, at the 17th China International Animation Festival in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, a grandmother dressed in Hanfu surprised the audience as soon as she appeared. This "Hanfu grandmother" is named Liu Weixiu, who is 77 years old this year. At first, Grandma just cooperated with her students to shoot a group of videos dressed in Hanfu, and after receiving a lot of likes from netizens, Grandma created an account to record her life.
"Hanfu Grandma" was a Peking Opera actor when she was young, she began to study Peking Opera at the age of 13, entered the Chinese Opera School at the age of 19, and decades of Peking Opera skills made Grandma's smile and hands show classical charm. After Grandma retired, the costume was put deep in the closet. Today, Hanfu not only regains the feeling of stage performance, but also gives her a new life experience.
Years never defeat beauty. In everyone's past impression, anime festivals and Hanfu seem to be patents for young people. But "Hanfu Grandma" has gained many fans with her elegant temperament, classic shape and young mentality. She said: "As long as you like, as long as you want to wear it, there is no age limit for loving Hanfu!" ”
Who says age is the divide of life? For people who love life, age is just a number. There is love, there is pursuit, there is hope, no matter what age, you can live a good life.

I once knew a girl who danced solo. At that time, it was not friendly to her. Before there was the pressure of parents to urge marriage, after there was the anxiety of competition among peers, but every time I looked at her circle of friends, I would sincerely sigh: This girl is also too inspirational.
She was so poor that she only had eight yuan left, and she could travel while writing books; she also worked in a foreign country, later became a project partner, and even started a cross-border tourism industry... From the initial worry, confusion and confusion, to the freedom, independence and fearlessness of the present, the maturity for her is to meet a more authentic self. It seems to be a twist and turn, but it stretches into a smooth road.
Among the colleagues was a mother of two children. When others hear that she already has two children, they will ask: That must be very hard, right? But the truth is that the more she lives, the more she resembles a girl. Running five thousand meters a day, insisting on practicing yoga and belly dancing for more than ten years, can cook soup, can play musical instruments, will go to concerts, will buy flowers for themselves, and live a normal day steaming.
There are always some people who always have enthusiasm and love, embrace courage and original intention, are not afraid of saying goodbye, nor are they afraid of the unknown, and they can stop at any time and leave at any time. They are not limited to age, money, but more about the meaning of time.

I also often hear friends in their twenties and thirties say that they are panicked. They panic that if they meet their crush and can't give each other any promises; they panic that their growth progress can't keep up with the speed of their parents' aging; they panic that they haven't had time to think about the "ideal life", and the pressure of life has already made them overwhelmed.
In fact, panic is not terrible, the terrible thing is that we refuse to believe in ourselves, afraid that we will put "boring" and "forget it" on our lips, afraid that we are obviously still young, and honestly accept the pre-set answer of life.
You have to believe that we panic, not because we have become more vulnerable and powerless, but because we have our own people and the lives we want to love. This love and anticipation are our weaknesses, hitting our weak hearts; but it is also our armor and weapons that push us to become more independent and powerful. While panicking, while growing, isn't this youth itself?
So stop being afraid of the unknown and the strange, and don't reject yourself, who should be more abundant. May you, with starlight in your eyes and yearning in your heart, and your feet not stop, without fear of growing with age.
