Granny gets her kicks performing in male attire

Jiang Hua, 70, a resident of Yubei district, Chongqing municipality, has found no more reliable pick-me-up in the past 20 years for herself and her neighbors than dressing up as a man for comic performances .

Grandma Jiang's stage career began by chance in 1988, when her residential community asked her to play a male role in a festival. Jiang's performance was warmly received, and she has since taken every opportunity to perform on stage in men's dress. "I will continue to perform as long as I can make people laugh," Jiang said.
