Wang Jinliang shows his food carving creations on a train in Beijing during Spring Festival, China's Lunar New Year. Wang, 59, has worked on trains for more than 40 years, starting as a cook in 1978 before moving to roles as chef, kitchen head and now Party chief of the passengers service department. As the 2019 Spring Festival was his last one on duty, he spent 80 yuan ($12) buying fruits and vegetables including watermelon, carrot and Chinese cabbage to show his carving creations. Wang also said his skill in making fancy food garnishes enabled him to contribute to marking important occasions in his job, such as the first train from Beijing to Shenzhen in 1996.
