STORYLINE:
In a village in China's Hebei Province, a 31-year-old Pakistani woman was performing Chinese folk dance "yangko" with other villagers, as part of a celebration for the Chinese New Year.
Saira Akhtar married a young man here in 2018. This is the fifth time for her to spend the Chinese New Year in China.
She not only learned "yangko," but also sought to incorporate Pakistani dance moves into the performance.
