A NURSING home has been forced to apologise after hiring a half-naked stripper to put on a raunchy display for its OAPs. The Taoyuan Veterans Home, a state-run facility in Taiwan for retired army personnel, paid for the dancer to entertain 12 wheelchair-bound seniors.

This was followed by karaoke before the subtle young woman in revealing clothes was brought into the main hall. The spokesman said: “The intention of the event was to entertain residents and make them happy. We are very sorry for the offence that was caused.” The Mid-Autumn Festival or Mooncake Festival is one of the most important holidays in Asian culture. In China, the celebration is marked by reunions, thanksgiving for harvests, and prayers for good fortune. The annual event, which this year fell on Saturday, September 10, is also known as the Moon Festival or Mooncake Festival. People in China ask for a rich harvest in the coming year. While in the country’s culture, the round shape of the mooncakes symbolizes completeness and togetherness. In 2019, an 89-year-old pensioner was thrilled when she was given a strip tease in a Suffolk care home. Joan took a ‘strip down memory lane’ when a hunky bloke dressed as a fireman was brought in to tear off his ‘uniform’.
