A group of elderly people from China staged a magnificent show in Sydney on Saturday night, the final performance of their Australian tour.

The Chinese Senior Citizens Art Troupe displayed a dazzling beauty and vivaciousness that astonished the audience. Their show, "The Glory of Autumn Red" took the hall by storm. The manager of the troupe says the performance is an indication of how life has improved for older people in China over the last two decades. The eldest performer is 72, but none of the cast showed any signs of old age and they amazed the audience with their energy. These 37 elderly people may change some people's attitude toward old age.
