Mr big mama

My China Dream | Hamid Dehghani

Hamid Dehghani is an Iranian man. But Chinese would refer to his job title as "big mama" (dama), or "auntie".

The 48-year-old, who heads a trade company, has voluntarily worked for a decade in Zhejiang province's Yiwu in a capacity traditionally occupied by elderly - stereotypically domineering - Chinese women, hence the literal translation of his post. He's heavily involved in community affairs. His job as a residential committee director often involves arbitrating disputes among neighbors.
