春运

The hot topic now in town is about "Spring Transfer". There are millions and millions of people will start the "spring transfer" from this week onwards. 春运 refers to the movement back to the home town to celebrate the Lunar New Year with families. In order to manage this huge human movement all around main land, China government has given concession and encourage students to move first. Since the CNY is only less than 2 weeks from now, it is better for citizen to move early in order to avoid the crowd and to risk ticket "sold-out" situation. There are many transport company also starts to mark-up price discreetly even government guarantees that the price will not changed. "黄牛票" will be common and will be popular for the "last minutes" commuters.
