The countryside is so vast, must it be only for playing mahjong?
Not long ago, when I returned to my hometown, I found that several more mahjong parlors had opened in the village, and most of those playing mahjong were left-behind elderly people. The owner of the mahjong parlor said that the elderly have nothing much to do at home, so they come over to play mahjong and relax.
