Rail ticket seller misses out on special dinner again

While millions of people take to the roads each day for Spring Festival family reunions, Li Tian is going to miss his fifth Lunar New Year's Eve dinner with his family on Saturday.

Since he started working at Beijing Railway Station in 2008, the 28-year-old ticket seller hasn't taken a work day off, except for his one-week honeymoon to Hong Kong.

"I have got used to spending the Spring Festival Eve in the ticket-selling hall," Li said.
