春运成因英语介绍 The word: "Spring Festival" first appeared in 1980, the People's Daily. Since China's reform and opening up, as to personnel flow restrictions relaxed, more and more people choose to be migrant workers and study. The Spring Festival Travel Rush(春运), also known as Chunyun in Chinese, or Spring Festival Travel Season / Transportation Peak is considered to be the largest annual migration(迁徙). It is the special period when China faces an extremely high traffic load, which results in great transportation problems, especially on the railway services. Millions of people working or studying out of their hometowns will be hurrying home to reunite(团圆) with families as the Chinese Spring Festival approaches(临近). This long-held tradition is the main reason for the rush. The other is that the holiday is one of the two week-long holidays of the year, a perfect travel time for many people. The rush usually begins 15 days ahead of the Chinese Lunar New Year and 25 days after that. During the 40 days of Chunyun period, the inter-city(国内) transportation faces great challenges. The demand for tickets far exceeds the supply. Various measures are adopted to alleviate the problem by opening many temporary trains (numbers starting with letter L), extending the working hours of booking office and opening up more booths. |
