A picture proves that you are in a hurry for the Spring Festival
On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, when most of the people who are not far away to work and do business are still immersed in the afterglow of the festival, the vehicles on the highway have begun to move slowly, as if telling another lesser-known story in the Spring Festival - the Spring Festival traffic jam.
During this year's Spring Festival, the expressway is free from February 9 (Chinese New Year's Eve) to February 17 (the eighth day of the Lunar New Year), but on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the traffic flow is like a river converging, which has formed a special landscape. Why are high-speed traffic jams so concentrated on this day?
The reason is that in addition to a large number of migrant workers choosing to return to work at this time, there is also the end of the free passage time of the expressway, and many people are seizing the tail of the holiday to travel, coupled with the restart of some freight logistics, a variety of factors are superimposed, resulting in serious congestion on the highway.
In fact, the traffic jam of the Spring Festival is not only a traffic challenge, but also a test of human nature. Today, I want to tell you not only an experience of a traffic jam, but also a little story about patience, understanding and the brilliance of humanity.
I remember that it was the sixth day of the first lunar month last year, and as usual, I was on the highway to my place of work, but I was unexpectedly caught in a big traffic jam on the highway. All the cars in the lane were moving slowly like snails, looking out the window through the window, and the drivers who were next to us were full of anxiety and helplessness on their faces.
However, in this seemingly chaotic traffic jam, there was a small episode that gave me a new understanding of the traffic jam during the Spring Festival. Not far in front of me, a pickup truck full of New Year's goods accidentally collided with the car in front, and the vehicle rolled over and the goods were scattered all over the ground.
At this critical juncture, the drivers, who could have stayed in the car and enjoyed the **, showed incredible unity and cooperation. Not only did they quickly get out of the car to help clean up the scene, but someone also came up with tools to help repair the damaged vehicle.
Facing the winter sun, some drivers take off their coats and tie them into bibs, go around to help pick up the fruits that fell from the car accident, and after picking them up, they look for bags everywhere and put them next to the hit pickup trucks to avoid the unfortunate scene of secondary car accidents caused by the scattering of fruits on the road.
There was also a group of drivers and passengers, gathered around the overturned pickup truck, with a sound of "one-two-three, one-two-three", the overturned pickup truck was turned over and straightened up, and the pickup truck driver was also pulled out by the surrounding drivers and passengers, but fortunately not injured.
The most impressive thing is that there was a boy in his early twenties, getting off a dilapidated Wuling Hongguang van, holding a wrench and walking towards the pickup truck, not long after a while, around the pickup truck while turning and testing, with a clattering sound, he told the pickup truck driver that the vehicle can run normally for the time being, but it is recommended to repair it as soon as possible after arriving at the destination.
Although I also got out of the car and witnessed all this, as a female driver, I didn't come forward to help, and I had a deep self-awareness that if I went up, it was very likely that I would be a disadvantage, and not causing trouble was the biggest help.
Looking at the scene in front of you, it is like a ray of warm sun in winter, which makes people's hearts warm. This true little story may be just a trivial stroke in the long river of traffic jams, but it touched me deeply. In this story, we see a different Spring Festival, a Spring Festival full of kindness and understanding.
It teaches us that even in the worst of circumstances, the spirit of kindness and mutual help in human nature can shine. This is not just a story about traffic jams, but also a story about mutual understanding and support between people.
Today, I will share this story with you, not only to convey a positive energy, but also to inspire everyone to think about the way to travel during the Spring Festival.
During the Spring Festival, can we choose to travel off-peak to reduce unnecessary congestion? Is it possible to opt for public transport to take the pressure off the highway? Can we show more understanding and support when we are in a car accident, like those drivers and passengers?
In this age of information, everyone is the director of their own life, and every choice can become a story that affects others. Let us not only enjoy the joy of the journey in this Spring Festival, but also "block" a new world in the test of traffic jams, so that this goodwill and understanding will become our common memory in the Spring Festival.
I hope that through this real story of traffic jams during the Spring Festival, we can cherish the people around us more and better understand and tolerate the difficulties of others.
Let's feel every detail of life with our hearts, and warm everyone in need with love. In the new year, let us continue to connect every heart with stories, and let warmth and understanding become our common language.
