Chinese Spring Festival Time alway flies! Quiently, Chinese Spring Festival is coming. It was invented 4 thousands year ago, Absolutely, Spring Festival is tranditional day with Chinese characteristics. In current age, Most of people in China who work outside of their hometown are eager to back home during this time. There is a speical situation is Spring Festival travel. I'm always deeply impressed by the big picture, lots of people crowd the transportation tools with all kinds of big and small packages, especially trains. Most of people choose to take train back their hometowns, but the big contradiction is between lots of people and limits of transportation capability. They have no choice except choosing crowd if they want to go home. I even always standed for 8 hours on the way from my hometown to GuangZhou City by train, I never forget that trip ! According to the announcement of Chinese government, The great Spring Festival travel is starting from 4th Feb to 16th Mar, total forty days. The transportation preliminary data is about 2.81 billion peson-time during this Spring Festival travel. Perhaps you hardly image the big challenge for Chinese goverment and Chinese people, No any goverment in the world need to face this kind of challenge , This is Chinese characteristics! I checked some related materials ,four factors lead to this situation. The first one is economic development is not balance in Chinese, the economics of those coastal provinces develop obviously quick and better than inland provinces, So inland people come to coastal area to make a live. With the economic development, this kind of unbalance will disappear slowly. The second is the lack of transportation capability. The contradiction is between large population and limits of transportation capability. More and more High-Speed rails can decrease this contradiction. The third is tranditional concept deeply consolidates in Chinese mind. Seems it goes against trandition if you don't go home to gather your familes together during Spring Festival. I also follow the crowd even I have stayed here more than ten years. This is Chinese characteristics. All above factors lead to another big challenge for Chinese is very hard to snap up tickets for their roundtrip! But fortunately, I already got all of the tickets for my families and myself, the journey also arranged well ! To friends, Happy Spring Festival and good lucky in Goat year !
