65-year-old Chinese woman Jiang Zhijun falls in love with pole dance, which makes her retired life more pleasure and excitement.
Pole dance came to Jiang's life two years ago when her daughter took up a job of pole dance trainer. At first, Jiang had never imagined she can try pole dance in her age, but after a few attempts under her daughter's instruction she felt it's a sport exciting, challenging and fascinating.
Through daily training over two years, Jiang is almost a "pro dancer" now and capable of completing difficult postures on pole. Now Jiang boasts the oldest pole dancer in Jilin province, northeast China. Though she's 65 years old, she is considered a lady of vogue among her peer.
Jiang won the champion last October in the national pole dance championship in elderly group as the most aged competitor. On March, she took part in a TV show and successfully finished her challenge program.
Jiang admits it's not easy to train on pole for her, but the sport brings her happiness and strength. "It's never too old to dance. When you feel the pleasure, the hardship won't be that hard," said Jiang.
