SHANGHAI RETIREES GATHER IN GUILIN PARK FOR A SONG
Shanghai retirees gather in the Guilin Park, paying 1 yuan ($0.12) for a monthly ticket, to while away their free hours practicing traditional Chinese opera. Elderly people all over China gather in public gardens, spending their days at traditional pursuits such as tai chi, playing ancient musical instruments like the two-stringed erhu, or singing the curiously baleful local operas.
