In the span of under one hour, as I walked up Wushan Mountain in Hangzhou, this is what I saw: older people dancing, swinging tops around their bodies, dancing to music, playing badminton, playing dominoes, exercising on outdoor equipment including a rowing machine.

(almost impossible to do this from China….so bear with me.)

At one point….a woman who kind of reminded me of me 10-15 years from now (into the future) danced for me, then took my hand and danced with me, until a crowd formed around us. Then she made deliberate moves for me to follow which I did. This went on for 20 minutes and then we bowed and said “goodbye.” I had tears streaming down my face. It felt like I was dancing with my older self.
