Public square dancing just got political, as a group of middle aged women were spotted rehearsing a dance of a particularly sensitive nature.
A video was posted online depicting the ladies marching in unison to ‘Tunnel Warfare’, a song about the Japanese invasion, before launching into their choreography complete with toy rifles. The piece de resistance is the forced surrender of a costumed Japanese soldier at the end.
Netizen’s reactions were mixed, unsurprising given the distinct unpopularity of middle aged dancing ladies and their loud music. One netizen commented: “It doesn’t matter what dance they do, as long as they keep it down and don’t bother people”, whilst others were less friendly, suggesting that the middle aged dancers “have mental problems.”

When you couldn't win by yourself, you make stories where you win, complete with costumes and plastic toys. Ah Qi spirit, 100 years after Lu Xun wrote about it.
