Liu, also a lover of hanfu, said he wants to share happy memories with his grandma and to record her life at old age. And he found she is quite suitable for the clothing.

The grandma learned Peking Opera at 13, entered an opera school at 19 and then became an actress at Hunan Peking Opera Troupe in Hunan province. Now at the age of 76, she is still teaching opera.

She said she agreed the moment Liu invited her to shoot a video. "I didn't really know what it was about at the time. I thought it would be good to spend some time with Chenchen," she said, as Liu had been busy working far from home.
