On a frozen lake in Shenyang, northeast China's Liaoning Province, a group of spirited senior residents – averaging 65 years young – lace up their skates, don their helmets and take to the ice with unwavering enthusiasm.

Armed with hockey sticks and a passion for the game, these retirees have formed an amateur team that has become a local sensation. This inspiring "silver surge" is transforming Shenyang's winter landscape into a testament to resilience, joy and the enduring spirit of sport.
