Capital offers its warm hospitality to 'Snowflake Boy'

Wang Fuman, better known on the internet as "Snowflake Boy", finished a three-day tour of Beijing on Sunday. He visited the capital with his father and his sister at the invitation of two media organizations.

The family from Zhaotong, Yunnan province, watched the flag-raising ceremony at Tian'anmen Square and visited several places related to law enforcement during the visit, including the city's SWAT headquarters and a top police-training university.

"The biggest difference between Beijing and my hometown is Beijing isn't cold but my hometown is," 8-yearold Wang said by phone on Sunday. "Beijing is much warmer than my home because every family here has heating, but we can only warm ourselves by burning wood."
