Elderly woman practices Tai Chi Bailong Ball in Fengtai, Beijing, China

On October 15, 2026, in Fengtai, Beijing, China, @Jīngchéngqiúyǒu shared a video of an elderly woman practicing Rouliqiu, also known as Tai Chi Bailong Ball or Tai Chi Roulette, a traditional Chinese wellness sport. In the video, she wears protective wrist gloves and uses a specialized racket to control a bright yellow ball, guiding it through smooth, sweeping, and circular movements. Rather than striking the ball forcefully, she gently redirects it as it moves away and returns toward her, maintaining a continuous rhythm without letting it drop. She also walks while performing the movements, as several other people in the background practice the same activity. The ball's continuous movement is made possible by the racket's soft, flexible membrane and the specially weighted ball, which is partially filled with sand or liquid to reduce bouncing. Instead of striking the ball, the player uses controlled circular motions and momentum to catch, guide, and smoothly redirect it across the racket's surface.
