Q: How many Chinese people you know do traditionally "Chinese" things?

Ok, I admit that "traditionally Chinese things" is a rather broad term open to interpretation, but I think you know what I mean. What I'm asking is that after my time here, I've seen that all my Chinese buddies are just like you or I, they like a beer, they watch English films, and listen to English music. That's fine of course, but I'm just curious as to how many of you know Chinese people that do traditional things like drink tea, kung fu, calligraphy, play mah jong...is it me or is just the older generations that do things like this? Is China facing a potentially culture-less future?

I know a lot of young people who love to play majiang, especially for money.  But the other activities you listed are definitely less popular amongst youngsters.  Just for reference, I'm calling those under 30 young people.
