Takeaway boy: It’s warm and worthwhile to stay for the Chinese New Year. Meituan delivery rider Xin Yunfei did not return to his hometown to celebrate the New Year, but still walked through the streets of Beijing.

Liu Pengju, 41, has not been home to celebrate New Year for seven consecutive years. He earns money every day by grabbing orders, taking orders, and delivering food, leaving him with almost no free time. He said that on the one hand, he wanted to make more money when he stayed; on the other, he was worried about the cost of train tickets.
