Mr Meng, now in his thirties, left his hometown in Yunnan Province at the age of 18 to come to Beijing. For him the trip back home at Spring Festival is a nightmare. "I went back to Yunnan from Beijing for the first time in 1998. 1 was only 18, and eager to go back home to see my parents. There was a sea of people at the station that I had to squeeze through to get on the train. The carriages were terribly overcrowded, and I stood for almost two days to Kunming. Coming back to Beijing I had to stand for another two days. I lost 4 kg that holiday and swore it was the last trip I would make at that time of year. That was, of course, an empty thought as I still go home for the Spring festival every year. Railway conditions have improved a lot since then. The traveling time is shorter, and there are more trains, but they are still uncomfortable crowded."
Developments in the Chinese economy and ecation have made more pepole study and work in other cities, resulting in a fast increase in the floating(流动) population. At Spring Festival they move back and forth, like flying birds, no matter how far it is.
Nian is on its way. The 2004 Spring Festival falls on January 22, and to go home or not is the decision that must now be made by many Chinese living away from home. likely they will make the journey for the joy and pleasure of meeting with their families and friends.
