For the past five years, farmer-turned nanny Zhang Aixia from Henan province has not been sharing the Lunar New Year eve dinner with her own family. Instead, she has been busy preparing dinners for a Beijing family she barely knows.
But Zhang is just as happy.
Every Spring Festival eve, this domestic helper turned "Banquet Aunt", visits a Beijing family and prepares for them the biggest feast of the year, a time-honored Chinese tradition.
