"I love the grandpa way of dancing. He is so light of feet and at his age, he can still move that way," writes Tajing Reyes on Facebook .

"Grandpa is a smooth dancer. His timing, balance and foot work is awesome to watch," writes Madonna Clark Madiva. "The best thing you can do is get up and move at his age. Grandpa should do his own work out dance video. I would buy it."

"Three seconds into the video, I knew grandpa is good," writes Soon Ching Voon. "Then I spent the rest of the time watching closely to see if the girl can be as good as grandpa! Yes, grandpa is indeed impressive!"

"Typical China. Every weekend or even during weekdays in the evening you see people dancing - all ages mixed, everybody doing their own thing. Nobody laughs, nobody has cynical remarks. This is what we love about China," comments Benny Oeyen.

"When I grow up, I want to be this grandpa" reads the caption underneath the video. #LifeGoals.
