These elders are also gentlemen.

Dai Liangshu, the class leader, absolutely objects to the idea that the retired old people can live free from the public rules and social morality. "Don't be an old man that everyone hates," he often says so to his classmates.

Under his leadership, the model crew behaves in a self-disciplined way in public places. When they go for a performance via subway, they will give their seats to pregnant women and children. If they arrive at the rehearsal venue in advance, they will wait outside for others quietly.

Smart, optimistic and graceful, the model crew glows in their twilight years.
