Social Life for the Retired People in China

Apart from taking care of the family, retired people have a diverse social life.

In order to keep in good health, some choose to do Tai-chi, which is perceived to be one of the oldest traditions good for both physically and mentally health.  In recent years, a mania is spreading through China, i.e. Square dancing.

For entertainment, people enjoy a lot of fun in playing Chinese chess, and playing Mahjong.  With the new app Wechat, they can easily find people with the same interest.
