A Spanish chef brings his way with rice to China at his popular Beijing eatery, Liu Zhihua reports.

Spanish chef Alex Sanchez came to live in the Chinese capital about 11 years ago, because at that time his girlfriend was a Chinese and they decided to seek their future in the land they saw overflowing with opportunities.

Years later, their relationship long ended, the 56-year-old finds his life and career unfolding successfully in the increasingly internationalized city.
