The Spring Festival, the annual migration, has long become a unique landscape in the land of China. On the tenth day of the Spring Festival in 2024, the national railway passenger flow will remain at a high level, and it is expected to send up to 12.8 million passengers. Behind this huge number are the voices of countless wanderers returning to their hometowns and their longing for home.
The Spring Festival, the core festival of Chinese culture, has always been a time for family reunion. Home is not only a concept of geographical location, but also a harbor in everyone's heart. No matter where you are, whether you are rich or poor, on the occasion of the Spring Festival, the call of home can always touch the softest corners of people's hearts. So, we saw the surging Spring Festival**, saw the bags they carried on their shoulders, and saw their tired and determined eyes.
This year's Spring Festival has special features compared with previous years. In addition to the traditional Yangtze River Delta, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, Pearl River Delta, Chengdu-Chongqing and other regions, the flow of people in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, central Yunnan and Central Plains urban agglomerations is also becoming more and more frequent. This not only shows the new pattern of China's regional economic development, but also reveals people's pursuit of a better life and yearning for home.
The increase in the popularity of the Spring Festival in small cities and the significant increase in arrivals in Neijiang, Yancheng, Yichang, Bayannur and other places not only reflects the narrowing of the gap between urban and rural areas in the process of national urbanization, but also reflects people's attention and support for the development of their hometowns. In this season of returning home for the Chinese New Year, families in small cities are also looking forward to reuniting with their loved ones who are far away.
The popularity of the car rental market has also become a major feature of this year's Spring Festival. The data shows that the number of car rental orders during the Spring Festival holiday this year has increased significantly year-on-year, especially in the southern provinces and provinces with large tourism resources, and the demand for car rental is strong. This not only shows the improvement of people's spending power, but also reflects people's attention and pursuit of travel experience.
However, in this Spring Festival tide, we should not ignore those who stick to their posts and cannot go home for the New Year. They may be medical personnel, policemen, firefighters, etc., for the benefit of the country and the people, they give up their small homes for everyone, silently dedicate themselves to the front line. Their dedication and perseverance also deserve our respect and gratitude.
In addition, the Spring Festival also brings many challenges and problems. The high concentration of ** has brought great pressure to transportation, and it is difficult to find a ticket and the journey is difficult to become a common feeling for many people. How to improve transportation efficiency, optimize resource allocation, and improve passenger travel experience is an important issue facing railways and other transportation departments.
At the same time, we should not ignore the social issues reflected behind the Spring Festival. Deep-seated problems such as unbalanced urban-rural development, regional development differences, and population flow and migration still exist. How to solve these problems from the root cause and let everyone enjoy the dividends brought by national development is the direction that we need to think deeply about and work hard for.
In the face of the tide of the Spring Festival, each of us is a witness and participant. At this special moment, let us cherish the warmth of home more, be more grateful for the society's giving, and look forward to the future of the country. At the same time, let us not forget those who stick to their posts, care about the social issues behind the Spring Festival, and work together to create a more harmonious and beautiful social environment.
In the context of the Spring Festival, how should we better understand home and better cherish the time of reunion? Maybe the answer lies in you and me.
