Chinese dama (older women usually aged 55-70) often come under public fire when they dance or exercise together in public places, loud and rambunctiously. Such criticism has come to a peak when recent news revealed that a group of dama in Luoyang, Henan Province, had encroached on a local basketball court and violently driven away young people coming to play. More recently, another group of dama in Zhengzhou were revealed to have danced beside a local martyrs’ cemetery, seen as disrespectful. Netizens complained that many dama exploit their seniority and give little consideration to what other people think and feel. They appealed for the relevant government departments to restrict by legislation the places and times outdoor activities can run.
