Hao Zhiqiang, 49, a dumpling restaurant owner in Beijing. As most of Hao’s staff are migrant workers who leave Beijing for family reunion, the restaurant usually closes during Spring Festival. This year is the first time that it will stay open during the holiday. Hao is planning to get all his staff to have the New Year’s Eve dinner together. “People who can spend the Spring Festival together can be seen as families,” he told GT. Photo: Li Hao/GT
