In this episode of Sexy Beijing, Su Fei tries to find out what’s up with the Christmas spirit that seems to have invaded China’s capital.
What do Chinese people think about Christmas? Why do they celebrate it? And more importantly, what do they know about the Jewish holiday that she celebrates called Hanukkah?
