If you clicked on the tweet because you thought I meant seniors were having sex in parks, well, I hope you still found it a good read!

I loved the reporting experience because it was one of those rare moments when interviewees went: “Wow, the New York Times!” Such a great respite from being told off/rejected because I’m from the “hostile foreign media.”

So happy that
@yancongphoto was assigned to take the photos. Check out her portraits of the people I spoke to, Guan Yongnian and Zhao Lin, and of just life in the park. Have always maintained a Chinese park is one of the best sights in China. There’s so much going on.Prikaži ovu nit -
Love that Chinese media calls this phenomenon of seniors finding romance “twilight love.” Also, there are these Chinese dating shows that cater to them: “Peach Blossoms Bloom,” “Exciting Old Friends” and “Holding Hands.” How AWESOME are these names.

These are some examples of the ads posted by lovelorn seniors. The one on the left has the ominous warning of “no black moles.”pic.twitter.com/WuQdCX4SCv

A while back, I did a Twitter callout for the best way to translate 没内在的修养, a term that Mr. Guan used to describe many women he met in the park. Thanks to
@ourobororoboruo for giving me the poetic "not imbued with sophistication and good breeding."Prikaži ovu nit -
Just a final word on reporting: The first time I went out to speak to people, no one wanted to give me their names. The second time I did, everyone was willing to talk! It just shows that in journalism, if at first you don't succeed, you just have to try and try again ...
