I think I'd better introduce something about the Spring Festival transportation season...
Since the area of China is very large but the development in all parts is quite unbalanced, more people from countryside leave their hometown to big cities like Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou to make more money and build a better life.
However, it is a tradition that people should go back to their hometown and reunite with their families during Spring Festival. The price of China Railway passenger trains is much cheaper than airplanes, thus it become the no.1 choice of saving wanderers.
A lot of them don't want a convenient sleeper or even a seat, and they don't care the time the train depart and arrival (just before the Spring Festival Eve is OK). The railway corporation also add a lot of temporary trains that depart in midnight for those people eager to get back home during that days. That's what we called Spring Festival transportation season, or Chun Yun.
In Chun Yun season, a lot of people with large baggabes crowd in the railway station square, sit or even lie there and wait for their trains. The stations also open up some temporary waiting areas and unusual ways-in to the platform.
The trains are also crowded. Because the no-seat tickets of hard-seat coaches are sold, a lot of people stand in any spaces in the train. It is very bitter but worthy for people because they will get their home and meet their family very soon.

...But don't forget! People will still go to the cities back and build a better life for them after the Festival...
