BEIJING: The Lunar New Year family reunion is the annual highlight for most migrant workers after a year of working away from home.

But 26-year-old migrant worker Han Yahui is not heading home to Henan province this year, for what might be her last Spring Festival. She was diagnosed with acute leukaemia in October and has been told she might have only six months to live.
