Chang Wanji and Shu Shu-ye, a married couple from Taiwan in their 80s, have found a unique and original way to revitalize their monotonous routine as laundry owners. Their grandson, Reef Chan, came up with the idea of dressing up in forgotten or left-behind clothes from their customers and sharing stylish photos of the couple on social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram.
Initially, the couple was hesitant about the concept, as it went against the norm of wearing other people’s clothes in their business. However, Reef convinced them, emphasizing that age should not hinder their sense of style. The intention behind the idea was to uplift the spirits of his grandparents, who often felt bored and sleepy during slow workdays.
The response on social media surpassed expectations, with thousands of users from around the world appreciating and cheering on the youthful couple. Despite donating a significant amount of clothes to charities, the couple still possessed a substantial collection in their entrepreneurial wardrobe.
The positive comments and feedback received by the fashionable elderly duo on social media are read aloud to them by their grandson, adding to their joy and sense of fulfillment.
