张月芳 (Zhang Yuefang) is a fabricated character born from the collective memory of Nan Ma Tou Chanting Group, spontaneously formed by 20 Shanghainese ladies, with an average age of 81.6. They have been gathering to chant Buddhist script and practice circumambulation every other Sunday for 20 years. As the age raise, many of them become isolated from society and this gathering has become the only social activity they involve in persistently.
