It is the Lunar New Year - the only chance most factory workers get to see their families in the countryside. Amid these swirling masses, documentary film director Lixin Fan decided to make a film focussing on one couple, Changhua and Sugin Zhang who work in the coastal city of Guangzhou. He tells Lucy about the sacrifices made by China's migrant workers.
