Don't Play Play Aunty Messi


Paid a visit to Beijing recently. I was taking a stroll in the park when I see this group of elderly displaying stunning skills when playing the game of Jian Zh i(毽子).Very skillful. The one in the red shirt is auntie Messi.


Jian Zhi is a traditional Asian game in which players aim to keep a heavily weighted shuttlecock in the air using their feet and other parts of the body. Used to play this in class during the breaks.


China has already started her own "Shaolin" soccer team. If they really fuse that with football, I think you will be looking at a new force in World Cup in the future.
