Duo views laughter as the best medicine

Chinese medical student and British comedian team up to bring smiles to more faces, Hou Chenchen reports.

In a traditional courtyard dwelling in Beijing, an unexpected partnership was forming between a local graduate and a foreigner.

Chinese medical major Li Xinshu, 24, and British comedian Fraser Sampson, 27, began crafting their next stand-up comedy routine in the heart of the Chinese capital.

Their partnership, dubbed "Shufu Duo", is a cross-cultural stand-up comedy act born last December.
