The work was a lot but for Qin it was worth it. He's happy – and who wouldn't be? – not only for taking part in the show but above all for proving that age is just a number: «I want to encourage all those who feel lost at some point: never give up on your dreams! Before the age of 70, as a doctor, I only cared about my patients. Who would have ever thought that I would be here on the catwalk today?”. In short, you are never too old to get involved and indulge in your passions. Word of Qin Huilan.
