On the other side of the city, Zhang Xianqiong was packing her luggage. She was also a passenger on the Chunhui.
Before the Spring Festival, she was engaged in the housekeeping industry and was busy until ** o'clock in the evening.
I came to Guangzhou in 2003. The year Zhang Xianqiong left home to work coincided with her mother's 60th birthday, as if in a blink of an eye, her mother was 80 years old. "So I have to go back to my family for the Chinese New Year this year. It's been 20 years in Guangzhou, and I have forgotten about it, and now my parents are old. ”
In the house, Zhang Xianqiong's early work card and the pick-up and drop-off cards of his son and daughter when they were studying in Guangzhou. This house with an area of less than 20 square meters has a monthly rent of only 300 yuan. Zhang Xianqiong's family of four has lived here for more than ten years, watching the children go from toddler to university.
Guangzhou's abundant employment opportunities allow Zhang Xianqiong to shoulder the burden of the family, but she is still worried about her home thousands of miles away.
No matter how good it is here, it is not home, and the child will wait at Zheng'an home as soon as he has a holiday, and ask his mother every day when you will come back. Every time she receives the child's **, Zhang Xianqiong's heart is a little more sour, she is about to see her relatives at home, and her wish is to make a delicious meal for everyone.
I don't bring anything, the most important thing is when people go back, and they are so happy to cook a few meals for them. said that she didn't bring a gift, but Zhang Xianqiong's suitcase still contained new clothes for her mother and a curling iron for her daughter.

Our company has a lot of doctors, talents from Midea, Microsoft and other large manufacturers. From these colleagues, Han Cong learned more about his calm attitude towards dealing with problems, and at the same time, his work can be recognized by everyone, which is also his biggest gain this year.
The Guangzhou Development Zone, where Han Cong works, gathers more than 480,000 small and medium-sized enterprises, they have created more than 80% of the invention patents, innovation achievements and new products in the region.
Here, young people like Han Cong have found a stage to pursue their ideals.
In fact, the work pressure is quite high, basically two or three days to get a project done. Han Cong also has his own "small goals": "Now I will go to class for more than ten years, save money, buy a house and a car for my family." It's survival here, and it's life to go home. He said.
