person making dumplings

My grandmother making dumplings - Despite fighting lung cancer over the last few years, she has never once refused to cook food and make dumplings for her family. In some Asian cultures, including China, it is tradition to hold a dumpling feast when you are sending off a family member or dear friend (noodle feast for arrival/welcome). I will always remember the hundreds (if not, thousands) of dumplings I have eaten just hours before my flights leaving home.
