The age of contribution

Festival highlights social value of senior citizens, Cheng Yuezhu reports.

Pink bob haircut, green T-shirt with tiger and floral prints, orange cargo pants－curator and art critic Victoria Lu cut an appropriately dazzling figure at the third edition of Luminous Festival.

This year she turned 70. At the festival's opening day forum on "a more imaginative aging society", she shared her personal experience in aging, or based on her personality and mentality, the lack thereof.

"I'm alive and kicking every day. I'm still a useful person. My dears, I'm a useful person," she emphasized in her speech at the opening of the festival, as a guest speaker.
