Yang Le stood in line at the railway station for three hours, only to hear the staff say that "all the tickets are sold out". The scalpers leaned in and quadrupled the ticket price. "Tickets are too difficult to buy and expensive. You can't take the train if you can't buy a ticket. "
Last year, he spent the Spring Festival with his parents. My sister who works outside the home hasn't come home to reunite with them for five years. In the Spring Festival of the Year of the Dog, only parents will spend the Spring Festival at home alone. When asked if he ever thought his parents would feel lonely, he replied, "My parents are not lonely, they are very happy." In his eyes, parents will always support their children.
Reason 2: It's boring to go home, so it's better to travel.
More and more young people choose new ways to celebrate the New Year, such as traveling, and the concept of celebrating the New Year with the elderly has disappeared from their minds.
Mr. Zhang, who lives in Anshan Road, Qingdao, works in a foreign trade company. This Spring Festival, he made an appointment with several colleagues in go on road trip and took his wife and son to the south. For not spending the New Year at home with the elderly, he explained this way: I have to go to work during the "May 1" and "Eleventh" holidays, and I have been busy for a year. Only this holiday can be enjoyed with peace of mind. While the elderly can take care of themselves, they should go out and walk quickly. In a few years, the old man will be exhausted and have to accompany him for the New Year. Besides, always staying at home for the New Year is boring and out of touch with society. The old man also understood his idea and agreed to take his wife and children out for a walk.
CoCo Lee, 28, is an only child. After being admitted to Shanghai Jiaotong University from Qingdao No.2 Middle School, CoCo Lee never went home for the New Year. This is the best time for her to play. She has climbed the snow-capped mountains, been to Hong Kong, and played various novel ways of celebrating the New Year. This year, as usual, she chose to go to Jiangsu instead of going home for the New Year.
Reason 3: It's the same when you go home to honor your parents, so you don't have to rush to the peak in Spring Festival travel rush.
Zhang Yun, who has just worked in Zhongshan for one year, decided to go home after the May Day holiday to avoid the peak in Spring Festival travel rush.
Zhang Yun's hometown is Dangyang, Hubei Province, and it takes 24 hours to go home from Zhongshan by train. "Local train, Spring Festival travel rush is normal to be late, but this is no reason not to go home. Although my parents have no problem, I should go back and have a look. I will definitely go back on May Day. " There are still many young employees like him who stay in the company for the New Year. "This year, many colleagues, especially new employees, chose to spend the New Year here for various reasons."
Reason 4: It is difficult to choose who to go back to every year.
Miss Zhao, who works in a media company in Qingdao, is from Harbin and her husband is from Yantai. They quarreled countless times about going home to spend the New Year with the elderly. The problem is that they are all only children and can't spend the New Year with each other's old people. This is a question that makes both of them scratch their heads. "I want to go back to my home for the New Year. He must have said that he was married to my family. It is a custom for the woman and the man to go home for the New Year, but I will go home with him for the New Year. Who will take care of my parents? " Miss Zhao feels that which party to choose for the New Year makes the other party uncomfortable. Being alone made her feel sorry for the old man. After all, the old man worked hard to raise himself. Going home separately, the young couple are reluctant, and it has become a difficult choice to go to anyone's house every year.
With the development of society, more and more only children begin to face the problem that it is difficult to celebrate the New Year with the elderly.
Reason 5: I can't live without my work, so I'm helpless.
In sharp contrast to the tide of returning home, there are still many migrant workers sticking to their hometowns. The reporter learned at a construction site near Dongcheng District in Beijing that many construction workers don't go home. Xiao Wang, from Luoyang, Henan Province, said: "The construction site will catch up with the construction period and will not stop work during the Spring Festival, so double wages will be given."
Changan, a train coach from Qingdao Railway Station to Guangzhou, wants to spend New Year's Eve on the train. He can't spend the New Year with the old people, but he can only spend it with his colleagues on the train. He does this every year, so he can only call the old man to pay a New Year call. "A job like ours, if we can go home to spend the New Year with the elderly, is either a myth or laid off." Captain An has been relieved that he can't go home to spend the New Year with the elderly.
"People who come back and forth are all going home for the New Year, but they can't go home for the New Year. I am very upset. "
