* * * * Chunyun in China is known as the largest and periodic human migration in human history. ? 中国的“春运”被誉为人类历史上规模最大的、周期性的人类大迁徙。 Spring Festival started on Jan 23 in 2012, with the public holiday running from Jan 22 to 28, Chinese people tended to return home for family unions during this period. （2012年的春节从1月23日开始，22号到28号是公休假期，中国人在这期间会回家团聚。） This travel peak was expected to put the countrys transport system through a harsh test, as total traffic from Jan 8 to Feb 16 was set to grow by 9.1 percent on the 2.9 billion trips taken in 2011. It is a long-held cultural belief for most Chinese people that Chinese New Year is a time to reunite with the family. People come home from work and study and have the important dinner with their families on New Years eve. The celebration lasts fifteen days, although the government only sanctions seven of these days to be holidays, and it ends with the Lantern Festival. Many Chinese prefer to return home earlier and return work after the end of the official holiday. Since the Chinese economic reforms of the late 1970‘s, new economic opportunities?have emerged outside of people’s ancestral homesteads, a significant increase occurred in the amount of floating population around the country. ?A massive migration also occurred with rural population moving to booming urban areas. (为谋求经济，有非常多的人从经济欠发达的地区到经济较发达地区就业，造成了人力的大量流动。这些离开家去外地就业的人员在春节前后集中返乡过年，即成为春运运输的主要人群。） In addition, Chinese education reforms have increased the number of university students, who often study outside their hometown. The Spring Festival holiday period falls appropriately in the same time frame as their winter vacation. (此外，这段时间是高等院校放寒假时期，多数学校在春节前两到三周开始放假，在正月十五左右开学，因此在外地就读的学生返家也构成了春运运输的另一主要人群。 ) 一票难求（Hard to get a ticket ） 打击票贩子（ crack down on scalpers） 候车无望（Long time waiting ） 拥挤的过道（A crowded aisle ） 交通拥堵（Traffic Jam) 心酸过后的喜悦（ reunion） Impact on transportation systems and related problems Significant?problems also lie with Chinese current inter-city transport
