[Explanation] Raise your head and chest, tuck your abdomen and waist, look forward...The members of the Shanghai Fangsong cheongsam team stepped onto the T stage with calmness and confidence, and showed the audience the graceful, charming and gentle oriental beauty.

  A few days ago, in the 2020 Shanghai Fancy Fashion Model Competition, a “post-50s” cheongsam model team emerged from the 60 participating teams and won the title of “winning team” with the program "Brilliant Sunset".

Team member Liang Hong said that whether it is daily activities or pre-match training, the team members are taking care of their families and trying their best to make time to participate.

  This time we are on this catwalk show for the first time, and we can achieve such results thanks to everyone's efforts.

Some families have to bring children, they give up this time, I want to participate in this activity.

I didn’t have enough day (time) to practice at night. I came here twice a week at night to train. After this result, everyone was very happy.

  [Explanation] It is reported that the competition requires players to be over 50 years old, aiming to allow "post-50s" and "new youths" to actively join the catwalks and create a diverse beauty.

This group of "post-50s" cheongsam team members, some from the teacher's podium, but also business managers and veterans.

At this moment, they turned gorgeously and walked onto the runway, showing their middle-aged and elderly style in their gestures.

  Team member Ma Ying said frankly that the elegance and confidence on the stage stems from the hard training off the stage.

Because the players are too old, every action in a set of programs requires repeated practice.

  I have retired for 2 years because we are all older.

We feel very fortunate to have met our two good teachers, they just tirelessly and conscientiously taught us, over and over again.

  [Explanation] It is reported that this cheongsam team was established in 2015, based on the original community cheongsam catwalk salon, and gradually absorbed cheongsam catwalk enthusiasts in the jurisdiction, and was active in community tours and public welfare shows all year round.

  As the backbone of the cheongsam model team, 76-year-old Ma Weifang hopes to continue to attract more team members to join this "big family" in the future, hoping that this traditional Chinese culture can be understood and loved by more people.

  I am 76 years old and I started learning at 60.

Cheongsam is very good for us women, one is elegant, and the other can improve our femininity.

After each of our students has studied, we then lead the neighborhood committee, and the neighborhood committee has a lot of team members and teams.

Cheongsam is the quintessence of China, and we (hope) to pass on the culture of cheongsam.
