A migrant worker enjoys the free Tangyuan
feast offered by Shenyang resident Li Dongsheng on February 12, the
Chinese Lantern Festival in a local restaurant, Northeast China's Liaoning
Province. Li Dongsheng, an unemployed Shenyang resident
who feeds on savings from his previous business extends a citywide
invitation to migrant workers in the city for a Tangyuan treat, free, on
China’s Lantern Festival. Li Dongpin, 46, planned
a 200-seat Tangyuan feast, which cost him 2,620 yuan. However, due to poor
advertising, the free festival feast, alleged Li, only received some 18
migrant laborers. But
with earnest goodwill to those local migrant rural laborers forced to
spend the Lantern Festival away from their families, Li has decided to
extend the free invitation for the next two days. [sina]

lukewarm response from migrant workers to his good-will free Tangyuan
