China's Golden Girls

Submitted by ub on

How do local ladies in Shanghai celebrate the Lunar New Year without leaving their homes or taking chances with COVID?

Meet the Chinese Golden Girls' three mature women who live together in China's largest city and experience the joys and angst of their golden years. They're all in their eighties and embrace sitting around a table eating, and catching up with each other. 

This image is universally loved by everyone. I don't know of any man, woman, gay or straight, black, white, young or old who doesn't love this show. There's a reason for that. Everyone can see their own grandma in the traits of one or all of these women. The main reason we love watching and reading about them and still do is that these ladies always remind us of our own grandmas. They were always such a perfect mix of what it's like to be when you're old and have those few close friends, but aren't afraid to be themselves. My grandmas had similar traits as they do... For these reasons, They're Our China Golden Girls. These sharp-tongued and sassy neighbors share their collective lives in their high-rise penthouse homes in Shanghai.

The three gals are retired educators and now widows who occasionally clash but are there for one another at the end of the day. After all, as the show's theme song says. In the spirit of transparency, the attractive lady in blue is my mother-in-law. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Golden_Girls  https://www.youtube.com…
