Thirty female contestants，all older than 30，took part in a reality show this summer，competing for five places in a performance group.

The first episode attracted more than 15 million viewers and sparked heated debate online.The contestants showed their dancing and singing abilities with solo and group performances.
Yang Chang，who works for a media company in Beijing，said： "Bringing these women together arguably contributed to making the most interesting reality show of the year.It sends a message that although we live in a youth-obsessed（著迷的） culture，there's still something to be said for the enduring appeal of women who are established and experienced."
Molly Tang，another fan of the show，who is approaching 30，said： "The women are very cool，fashionable and attractive.They have their own styles，rather than following a trend.I really admire their courage in breaking conventional stage or screen stereotypes（刻板印象）." She added that after watching the show，she is no longer afraid of becoming older.
