BEIJING - Computer programmer Dexter Ji, 34, was planning to stay with his family in eastern Shandong province for the Chinese New Year celebrations until Feb 16 but cut short his visit after a fall-out with his parents.
He returned to Beijing, where he lives and works, on Feb 13 after a big family quarrel about his decision to stay single. The official holiday began on Feb 10 and ended on Feb 17.
