Art gives young Latin Americans a deeper look at today's China

One of Mexico City's most venerable museums on Friday invited the public to a game of jianzi, a traditional Chinese national sport known in English as Chinese hacky sack.

"Come this weekend," the San Ildefonso Museum said to its Twitter followers. "We challenge you to participate in the oriental game jianzi, every Saturday at 1 pm."

Kicking a colorful and feathered shuttlecock in the air without the use of hands is a popular pastime in China, but in Mexico it is a rare sight, or at least used to be one before the 2016 Year of China-Latin America Cultural Exchange.
