A major focus of the Chinese New Year's eve festival for most families is the big meal at the reunion and it was no different for the 55-year-old Liu Xiaoxia, who is a simple street cleaner in the city of Changchun, Jilin province, and who pronounced her dinner as "priceless" and "delicious", in spite of the fact that she only had time to prepare six dishes.
When Liu and her husband finished a 7-hour shift on the Chinese New Year's eve, on Feb 7, they went back to their 9-square-meter room to share the happy celebration with family members, with Liu saying she was "so looking forward to the moment", with a smile on her face as she pointed to her son, daughter-in-law and two granddaughters.
