WUHAN — Drumbeats echo through a university gymnasium in Central China as a brightly colored dragon surges, dips, and coils, its body rippling in perfect rhythm.

At the front, guiding the dragon with a pearl, is Miguel de Oliveira Manacero, a 24-year-old Brazilian graduate student known in China as Ma Feilong.
