laolaiqiao
Already, the country's elderly exhibitionists have become something of an entertainment phenomenon, even spawning a new genre on Chinese video sites called laolaiqiao. That translates, loosely from the Mandarin, as "old people doing young things that even young people wouldn't do."
Laolaiqiao can also be used in the same way as the English phrase "mutton dressed up as lamb," meaning an older person wearing clothes supposedly more suited to a younger one, or to mean roughly "becomes charming with age."
