NAIROBI, Feb. 11 (Xinhua) -- Growing Sino-African ties are increasingly closing the distance between ordinary Chinese and Africans.

Nowadays, more and more Chinese are working overseas on the vibrant African land, as scholars, banking employees, retailers, construction workers, media editors, volunteers, footballers...

They share with African colleagues not only the office and routines, but also the joys and hassles that are typical of life.

Most of all, they share the same best new year wishes that are for families, friends and anyone in need to have forever better, healthier and more peaceful and fruitful lives.
