The game of Ping Pong captivates the Chinese people. Nearly all of the countries 1.3 billion people play the table game. Photos by Oded Balilty. Video and editing by Raul Gallego Abellan. (Aug. 12)
The video says, "Almost everyone knows how to do it." I just returned from China. Yes, almost everyone has played at some point, but many people don't play. I asked a lot of people and oftend I'd hear that the person doesn't play table tennis. Let's see -- and American equivilant... yeah, maybe there isn't one.
This is more then just an interesting fact. I can think of nothing in all of America or the western world that is similar. Having a common bond that connects every citizen must have a profound effect on societies perception of themselves. I would be interested in learning more
