Wang Mingle comes from a village named Maoyingzi, Suzhou, Anhui. He went out to work when he finished his middle school. After working in Beijing for years, Wang Mingle decided to go home in 2020. He found the old people in the village were very lonely(孤独的). "After finishing farm work, they can't even find a person to talk to because most of their children work in big cities," said Wang. "The only thing they could do is to play cards most of the time every day."
In the past, Wang's mother always tried her best to make these old people happy. Sometimes she asked them to have dinner together. But three years ago, Wang's mother died in a car accident(事故). "I really miss her," said Wang. "And I started thinking about what I could do to help them feel better."
So he asked some old people to dance with him. At first, only a few of them joined because many old people were shy. As time went by, more and more old people joined in dancing.
Now a lot of old people come to dance every day. Some of them even come from other villages. Dancing helps them keep healthy and makes them happy.
