Opportunities, progress

Xu praised China's rapidly developing, more inclusive society because it is giving older women more opportunities to pursue beauty and better lives.

Ma Lan, an administrator at Live In Journey, said, "It's a sign of social progress that women can choose what they like and do what they want as they get older, in addition to looking after children and housework."

That progress has not only come through economic growth "but also from women's improved self-awareness", she added.

Wen Shuyu, from the Open University of China, said the seniors' college is planning to provide older women with more targeted courses, such as those related to healthy diets and handicrafts.

"As a man, I have often been cheered by watching these energetic women and have even forgotten their age while watching them dance or taking catwalk steps," he said.

"They deserve more care and attention from society, and they're eager to be valued on their own terms. In the pursuit of beauty, every woman deserves to be respected, no matter how old she is."
