For many Chinese staff and volunteers, working at the Beijing Games means missing their biggest family celebration as they ring in the Lunar New Year, so instead, they have made it an occasion for foreign visitors to the Olympics. Beijing2022

Hugh Yu, general manager at the Nanshanli Condotel in the ski resort at Zhangjiakou, spent the last day of the old year kneading dough and preparing fillings to make traditional dumplings before the hotel’s restaurant opens for a special buffet dinner.

“You have to return home – everyone has the simplest food, and everyone has to make a dumpling, have a dumpling meal, and these are the dumplings for this reunion,” Yu added. “This year, the Olympic Games coincided with Lunar New Year, so I think that it’s quite fortunate to have friends from all over the world spend the Spring Festival together, so we include everyone,” Yu said.

Despite attaining a management position after 20 years in the catering business, Yu still rolls up his sleeves to make the dumplings filled with either egg and chives or minced pork.Under normal circumstances, he would have spent the holiday with his family, but because of the Olympics, he will have to make do with a video call.
