New voices take the stage

Being young is not only about age, but also mindset. The gala aims to attract as many audience members as possible to promote such an attitude.

Last year, a choir of gray-haired singers, with an average age of 75, made up of the alumni of Tsinghua University went viral after they performed a song Adolescent at the web gala. Viewers marveled at their passion for life.

This year's gala saw two men, 70-year-old fashion icon and actor Zhang Shuangli and 80-year-old musician Peter Chan, singing a popular song accompanied by guitar. Wearing jeans, they dressed up in a young and chic way. They also shared their stories and secrets on how to keep a young mindset.

"We can see the two grandfathers' understanding of youth. That's what we want to be in the future," says Yan Yusi, general director of the program. Many of Yan's friends told her after seeing the show that they hoped they could be "as handsome and fashionable" as the two elderly performers.
