In the past, taking a bath with friends in a public bathhouse meant enjoying a traditional rubdown while chatting and drinking tea. This was an enjoyable and even indispensable part of many elderly citizens' daily lives. Yet many traditional bathhouses, like the century-old Xinyuan Bathhouse in Beijing, have stopped the practice and the job of rubdown worker is vanishing into history.
