Megaport Festival in Kaohsiung attracts hundreds of thousands of music fans every year. One of the highlights last weekend happened among the audience, when a 90-year-old woman danced to the music, to the delight of other spectators. She was accompanied by her granddaughter, who said her grandma enjoyed the event so much that she was reluctant to go home. In our exclusive, we tracked down the lady, Cheng Chin-chih herself, and followed her to the second day of the event, where she stole the show.
That’s right, a silver-haired elderly is dancing along to the beat at Megaport Festival with everyone else.
This video had gone viral over the weekend and earned the protagonist a new nickname: “Megaport Grandma.” Even her granddaughter is surprised by how much she enjoyed the concert.
- Aren’t you tired?
- Do you want to stay?
- Oh, you do?
Cheng Chin-chih
‘Megaport Grandma’
My grandchildren said they wanted me to check out the crowd. I wondered why so many people were dancing. I found it interesting. There were so many people. It was like exercising for me, so I just shook around for a little bit.
We tracked down the lady, Cheng Chin-chih herself. She’s 90 years old and already has great-grandchildren. She says she exercises regularly, which is unsurprising seeing how she kept up with the music.
Cheng Chin-chih
‘Megaport Grandma’
I was a physical laborer, it’s nothing for people who do menial labor. I saw others dancing. I exercise regularly, so I also danced more or less.
Family members across four generations accompanied Cheng for a day trip around Qijin. They passed by the Pier-2 Art Center on the way home. There, they saw a large crowd and followed them toward the stage.
Cheng Ju-yin
Granddaughter
I took grandma around and saw that there was a concert. She slowly made her way forward. I was surprised. She danced more energetically than we did. We thought she’d get tired and asked her if she was and wanted to go home. She insisted that she wasn’t.
- I listen to whatever. I don’t follow certain people.
I usually watch Woo Gwa’s TV show, and also “The Mother of the Tofu Family.”
- Oh, you watch that too?
- Yes.
Instead of watching TV at home, Cheng went out on Saturday and stumbled upon Megaport Festival. She said she didn’t have enough fun, and wanted to go again today, on Sunday.
This time, Cheng bravely took to the stage and danced to her heart’s content, stealing the show at one of the country’s most well-known music festival.
