Shaobing warrior

Feng Huaishen is fighting to keep the craft of making traditional Beijing snacks alive, Li Yingxue reports.

For over five decades, 62-year-old Feng Huaishen has been playing with flour. By the end of the 1970s, he was making around 3,000 shaobing (sesame-seed cakes) each day.

In those early years of preparing the snack for Beijing's peckish masses, it's a fair bet that a great number of the city's residents would have tasted one of his doughy morsels at one time or another.
