Chunyun in China Again, massive migrant workers have started their annual trip home since yesterday. It's considered to be the biggest flood of population move in the world. But only can they stay with their families for a few days, less than a week. Although China has seen a significant economic growth in the past triple decades, the phenomenon remains unchanged. In my childhood, to afford the high cost of my education, my father had to work in cities far from our hometown all year round. I wishes my father had spent more time with our family. Now, I am repeat the thing that he did before. Why do we stay away from our hometowns? The most obvious reason for this is job opportunities. Hardly no way can young people get descent positions in the countryside. In addition, because of the poor welfare system of the society, a ordinary work man cannot afford his family to live together with him. What a shame. The spring festival is seen the greatest festival in China, like Christmas in the west. And it is also the only chance for us to go home.
