In recent years, the “Chinese Dama” has been continuously reported by domestic and foreign media in various forms. Chinese Damas are often seen in parks, sightseeing spots, and markets, and various poses for photos and super-strong bargaining power are their visible labels. However, along with the development of the Internet, Chinese Damas have been increasingly aware of how to “party”. Today, they have become a new group that should not be overlooked.

This work presents both the current and historical situation of the “Chinese Dama”, and also compares this publicity time with the age of conservativism and collectivism when they are young. It is easy to tell that they try to catch up and fit in this era but it finally leads to an obviously big gap with others.
