Briton Richard Webster and his new Chinese wife Qi Yinxia will celebrate a very conventional Spring Festival together - but they will do so in Luton, England.

The 51-year-old university instructor and his wife, who live in Beijing, will watch the CCTV variety gala with a Chinese professor in the United Kingdom and make jiaozi (dumplings) using whatever local ingredients they can find. "It's important for Sonya (Qi's English name) and me to keep up with traditions," he said.
