I got a home for Spring Festival phobia

 Ten years ago, I energetically the tide of imported south dream, I was inevitably become a mighty year after the reputation, subconscious but also no inclusion of his own front-page report can be seen everywhere that the , but also not that big pocket to fly home early to set the trip flights, in the forefront of China's reform and opening up the land, the city of their dreams throughout the year, immigration, the Spring Festival ticket home to become a big problem.
a first time home
first taste of spring, came to Shenzhen a decade after the first Chinese New Year back home in Hubei, Shenzhen was not yet opened or direct Wuchang, Hankou train, you must change trains to Guangzhou. We five staff together, find the relationship between trust company manager Zhao Shuren, after twists and turns, got five from Guangzhou soft, face value of more than five, plus dozens of yuan fee. when the economy was not good we are, a that is to get soft, but also very expensive fees, and my heart are go back to sleep, spend some money, than stand a good ten hours. began flowing in the heart. We discuss moves: the Guangzhou Railway Station are usually not many people order, unsafe, let alone during the spring, we decided to count a good time, take a train to Guangzhou station, just get off and four estimated fifty minutes, we have to take the train is about to start, so we have good reason to obtain the site staff accommodation, we do not agree with dragging a heavy suitcase, with the crowded out of the site, and then sinks into the sea of people The railway station square, and then squeezed into the waiting room, and then squeeze onto the car.
idea must, pack up, only to be starting.
go that day, the Shenzhen railway station, more people have been so we were a bit flustered, and a colleagues cheer: Well, since we so late, as long as no site do not tell them crowded on the line. think about is a little peace of mind a bit, as on a crowded train to Guangzhou, Shenzhen departure.
Guangzhou Station and get off, what a crowd sea, Ben's run, drag the box back a large bag, in the platform staff Nu Sheng snapped, The following are such that the closely-packed running ants fled in panic. In contrast, the Shenzhen station just really dwarfed. We are just five of the convergence platform, not enough time to say, he was a uniformed people take the baton, pointing, in Cantonese loudspeakers came a vicious, mean, let's get out of the site, not allowed to stay. a male colleague to take our tickets, walked over and his explanation, and not open to him to Xiongxiong shaking the hands of the baton, without any explanation to my colleagues in the push to the crowd. Seeing this situation, I go to, want to help a woman in exchange for accommodation and sincere, he finally listened impatiently to my Mandarin, but in my voice a fall to another Xiong Baba ordered us to leave. male colleagues patience on the table, want to go with him on what was going on, and that a uniform, who immediately raised a baton in his hand, my heart suddenly to mention throat and quickly go away with another girl a colleague. we have no choice but to squeeze the flow of flood in Wangchu station away.
thinking about us and will train only 40 minutes away, mind that Jia, who is really petrified panic. each has its own heavy baggage, and male colleagues have been a little light points for the bags, which can be dragged away in that crowded place, I am still friends often migrant workers driven to stagger back a large bag, usually I piled into a certain crevices, and I dragged the box, but to have life and death, and in my turn to pull, I was around then suddenly one by one driven to a large package can not stand. that time only in my heart to myself, can not fall, must not fall, once the fall, would be finished! side of the highly strained but calm alert crowded forward, while I wondered again : how exports so far? how to go for so long can arrive? how to get a second as a year? Fortunately, there are colleagues occasionally call out loudly, before and after the echo, comfort each other, always careful to remind each other purse, and nervously asked to No catch, reassuring answer can easily point, take a break, find our waiting room and then immediately on the bus, did not expect to look to the eye, the square over and over that people, ah, pack ah, a muddy mess, people have no choice direction, and stare loafer a strange looking eyes, and my heart more than a bit nervous at the same time, they have to be vigilant. That will never walk the endless flow of people, endless shuttle, rampage, I dodge, only reminding, take good care of yourself . think of us that the train must have started the car, so anxiously looking for the waiting room, but how could not find, we like a few panic without a head in a crowded sea of prowling. evening line of sight is not good, a small team of five individuals, surging in the square was jammed in the migrant stream, and sometimes they have been hit by migrant workers, migrant workers are sometimes stepped on the bag himself, even when almost pushed down Try to avoid stepping on one foot to sit on the floor of the migrant workers who, attracted a non-for more trouble. male colleagues will be reminded of a caution, that have been purposely touch his chest pocket, my heart to once again stress, time and again by Chung migrant workers moving back and knocked a big backpack brazenly moved, I am still nervous and calm hard squeeze forward, struggling migrant flows and large packets in the heap, when my mind only one thought: hang in there, crowding out, must not fall! out later, immediately tear up this ticket, make a train back to Shenzhen, I do not go home!
went to great lengths, and finally find our waiting room, rushed to run, that To keep up with the car, I did not realize that this waiting room actually go after the very empty, because the original provisional train was delayed two hours of departure, there came the waiting room who has not moved, we whined at the same time long relief, deferred missed the car is better than good. find a firm place only after getting his legs felt weak, heart ah ran, and only now feel tired, legs weak, people dread. I vaguely felt some pain in his right hand, a look back of the hand does not know when to be out of a large purple bloodstain, only a thin blood oozing , teeth can not help but think that next year will fly back home, no longer see the fire station in Guangzhou come!
back deep, playing in Shenzhen, Wuhan colleagues Paul ticket still did not buy votes, but because they buy train tickets delay time, to the last is the old King set ticket fee, but only to Guangzhou, and no room for a little hesitation, agreed to buy the phone immediately.
on the plane, like this trip back home: return is from Shenzhen to Guangzhou, Guangzhou, Wuchang, Wuchang and then five half-hour bus that when Yang, then home; to another house that when Yang, then coach to Wuchang Wuchang to Guangzhou, Guangzhou to Shenzhen. get tickets to worry about and anxiety lasted almost a month, and finally got tickets, but workers at the Guangzhou Railway Station climbed the heap of soul-stirring, then pushed out on the back of the large purple bloodstain, Xiangqilaijiu fear. then finally sat a little peace of mind in a comfortable cabin, white clouds floating outside the window, following the rolling mountains, meandering rivers flowing, and suddenly realized what the moment called ; to fall, the original dream, I devote all the time, it embarked on a never-ending road to the trouble of commuting.
two New Year's Eve trip with the I went home after the journey to become two people, husband is home in Hubei, Wuchang, Shenzhen has opened a direct train to the company of good youth return home, so we have one month in advance of that year, began a passionate book train tickets. asked a friend to look for leadership, and finally got two direct Wuchang hard, but it is New Year's Eve night, really speechless. not accompany parents to eat dinner, nor the moment the clock struck in the New Year in from home That lit firecrackers before the New Year fireworks, put a fun, but also have no choice but to go home, or buy to go back to the parents when a New Year's Day New Year right.
no longer have to lift to let who alarmed the train station in Guangzhou, has felt very happy. in Shenzhen Station, after all, New Year's Eve, though many people, but still there is order, and Shenzhen has been quite breathtakingly clean, train a hundred times cleaner than the Guangzhou station, no waves finally open ground north of the train.
New Year's Eve at the sound of the train bang Lang spent the night outside the window and lifeless, distant fireworks from time to time over the village of bloom, My thoughts are to fly to his hometown in front of the house, I do not know whether my father is still great interest to prepare a long variety of fireworks and firecrackers, and I do not know that her mother did not return in this year's New Year's Eve night is the addition of a trace of regret ? through the town, the window will be brightly lit red lanterns will be hung on the bright taste of warm, colorful bloom of fireworks is get people eager to go home and hope for the express faster, on time to catch up tomorrow morning, that trip Wuchang sent to the county's long-distance bus home, then all is well friends. constantly ringing cell phone still friends greetings messages, I reply, although the usual words, like language, accompanied by heart but always felt the New Year's Eve sound the blessing given, a little more emotion and memory.
next morning, twenty minutes later the train, can be considered quasi-dots, and asked not to be too high. hastily and her husband luggage and walk out, straight Ben coach station, thinking about this early in the morning, it should be a good ticket. did not realize that one ticket, who has long been packed in tiers, are basically just came to catch the next train car, Danian first day ah, there are still so many people rushing out, this to go, he always remembered his own good and evil is also a staff of government agencies in Shenzhen, a bit reluctant to can not buy, so drink his luggage under the point of view, let me not half an hour to start, tickets sold out the day before yesterday, did not pedestal. I suddenly cold toppings, warm and cold into ice. and go out with him to discuss, look at the vehicles to Yichang, simply buy Yichang, Dangyang from Yichang back again, than to wait until the afternoon the car in Wuchang strong. no way, who told his hometown of economic underdevelopment we do not popular?
so he spent nearly 5 hours to sit in Yichang. Although I is Yichang, but has been in the field, but also unfamiliar to the city, in the long-distance station of the car, there actually is not that when Yang cars, ask someone where to take, specify a place, a taxi in the past. just get off the inquiry, who pointed to a far away China and Pakistan, said: do not know how happened, because it is to Yichang, my site, I said on the bar! a sit in front of me pointing at Pakistan, the driver said: do not know how, may think that I lost my luggage in the car, so the fuel to catch up, a few minutes drive to the Pakistan side in parallel with it, I rolled down the window and waved the driver, Meng parking, drivers Yet something mind, the emergency brake, so we caught up with it! Pakistani driver smiled and said: : it!
rest for one night, big up and began to raise the beginning of the second ticket back to depth. No one in Wuhan, Wuchang go to buy a train ticket from commissioned relatives Yichang airport, the were told very tight, it is estimated not train Haonong; so he asked the relatives but also to help buy a train ticket, whether express extra slow car, as long as the sleeper on the line.
visiting friends and relatives in a high school classmate that is also in Shenzhen, not far away, it is exciting, so arranged to meet back deep. airfares have been told completely sold out, so please relatives and paid attention to Yichang Train, Hall also has a brother in law an official post, and arranged for the office of a Board who received special tube that can get five soft (then peer who has been increased to five people), but did not get tickets, so give us time on the train. repeatedly asked to determine, cousin and brother in law said that no church issue, so put down the heart.
sixth days of departure, because when Yang is the station, do not sell soft sleeper tickets, but we buy is soft Yichang departure, the train from Yichang to the direction of open Dangyang, but he had to first take the car to the railway station in Yichang on the train, next stop is when the Yang, to look at a home when it.
cousin to the five members of his family, to contact the people buying tickets at the train station, said an acquaintance, where time is not late, Church brother and drove us to the train station. Duzhe not get in the car, did not think the people of Yichang station is so much boat down all transit workers in Sichuan friends, pole bag adults and children are everywhere, a mess.
brother took us to church to find people who commissioned the ticket, not thought of that look of frustration were extremely sorry that he was commissioned someone else get tickets, people have been saying you can get, not the end of the said get tickets, he stuck to carefully sorry to me in great hall husband explained his leadership apologized, saying it is too difficult to buy, and asked several people did not get more. Church brother just ask how to do now? He said to have We find a good acquaintance with the car, fill up to us soft, absolutely, there must be, must be able to fill. We know that to fly from Shenzhen Yichang tickets long gone, this time it is no longer law, brother in law also had to be Church charge.
marshals while he hired the vehicle, church brother said nothing, turned to bought a Please give us five big burly marshals that the. marshals to take us easily got through the back door, will we placed in an empty car, and charged that we can only sit two rows of seats to want to turn away from go, I asked him quickly make things sleeper, and he said someone would be coming to us.
for a long time the other two stops later, our cars will be let loose, on the very crowded corridor hallway bathroom have all been full of people. vehicles move along through the Dangyang, Jingmen, Xiangfan, Zaoyang more stations, more than most migrant workers, all together on the platform, a dark mass. to beat a train at that the stop, the staff did not dare open the door, so they knock hard on the outside window, and called curse, the situation is very scary. the car that I looked out the window anxiously waiting on the bus and could not get into the crowd, it seems that my location annoy them, there are several men call out at me, pounding the glass, which means I open the window, I waved my hands open, as they knocked more intense, the car quickly so I do not want people to see them, Do not ignore them and said that if the window has been opened, and the scene will be out of control. I suddenly realized that the situation grim, nervous heart pound, beating, until the train began to glide away a dense mass of people, God was a little slow in the slow, but thinking about the next station will be the true situation, simply do not know how to do, even if want to get off can not go on, to hide nowhere to hide, only to face, find the Buddha bless yourself safe.
has been tension in the crowded The car sat, not daring to eat drink, because they can not go to the toilet, bent out of that dangerous and muddy car seats, expecting someone to come to us make up sleeper, do not know how long, finally saw a conductor struggling to push through, we quickly called him excitedly, asked him if he came to us, and he was very funny, does not recognize us, have not heard of anyone who make up the sleeper, there is no sleeper may make. just lit a little hope and shattered, we had to continue to wait anxiously.
went to a station, do not know why our cars are always parked in a dense mass of the crowd, looking at a picture of that black one in urgent face, our hearts to another as the train suddenly stopped and tension. but what happened here is more terror, the local staff of the platform even with the key to open the window opposite us, so he cooked one by one people Pachuang into, in fact, the carriage is simply no place, but they are eager to get on the train, the first turn came to say. see the windows platform you can open other people turned in, so some people have begun to open other windows, the car guy They then shouted: joints, there are more people took to the outside to help Push to breaking up, the car who were no match for the car, seeing a growing gap can be turned into the people, the car people started outsiders into his taxi just to the head, blood began oozing the hands of some people's heads, and the scene was near getting out of control. They went to helped by the window, I accompanied the girls and very frightened, just know in their own high standing on the seat, because too many people coming out of turn, if you do not stand up can be pressed in the following hh
car finally start again, that gripped the scene ended, but continues to fight inside, then came a badly beaten man and woman Manlianshixue crying and I accompanied the girl was scared almost cried. my husband and I decided to find the students that were marshals, but that car simply can not walk to enable them to really walk, had to give up half way. Trouble relatives have been very embarrassed, but such circumstances, I had no choice but bite the bullet and called the church her husband's cell phone, ask him to phone the marshals, Tell me, I immediately allocated to him, that he even forgot about it, mother, a with, what the crowd is not to say dirty, but only he can safely reach.
0:00 to Wuchang station, did not expect a uniformed man on the outside knocking on the window, turned on the car with us that guy. He got a soft hint that there is really no way the only way out. Then, we let me go, I go out of the car was crowded, the platform came from the soft sleeper car, got in his leadership . into a comfortable private room, and finally feel safe, but still the crowd did not think of a dangerous exploration muddy companions in the car seat, but also worried, just go too fast, only to walk a photoelectron people with nothing, and they can not contact, although a man lay down safely, but how could not sleep. Train exclaimed the heart suddenly and raised up, turned out to be someone outside the car windows open a soft start turn inside out, to hear good news soon arrived and yelled at the marshals, that she barely practical.
train is extra cars, extended to Shenzhen West, fairly direct access. but is the station stop along the way, let every car has been just the way until noon the following day, Guangzhou station, the car at last, come to the almost, looking over his companions , one does not survey haggard, covered with dirty, smelly, said that since the car for a day without some water, did not have something, not on a toilet. washed hands, they all began to eat hungrily, while eating and the first teeth and said: Tim a few years later his daughter, baby granddaughter from parents to toss, and finally made a great sacrifice, breaking decades of a deep-rooted in their minds the traditional concept of the New Year have to keep in their own home before, painfully written his father under his aging mother Qigu eight aunt brothers and sisters, let us feel honored and easily to one or two in Shenzhen reunion. But if every year, so expect it will not work.
daughter Kindergarten that year has not been winter break, while urging my mother to book the train ticket, while home with home ice snow firecrackers home mother aunt uncle and grandfather's home, his daughter has been clamoring to have to be lured back home the New Year. grandmother to her daughter on the description of home, in fact, also brought back thoughts of my hometown, my daughter begged and even cried, so we decided to return home New Year's fireworks will be released a few years did not put your fill and will not cool the body a few years through the cold months!
to send Mom and daughter on the train from Guangzhou, dad Dangyang them to stay, so be the best. Because how are not direct, can not be avoided to avoid Wuhan, Guangzhou, Wuhan not avoid to avoid Guangzhou, are avoided, then it can only be in Shenzhen Flying Yichang, to is the night, or to turn Dangyang, very inconvenient. no way, who told where we were born in that little?
years ago, her husband was busy with work still could not get away, I can not wait for him, by can not miss on the old home, the first back, this time I flew.
Shenzhen Yichang flights still fly, though only two classes a week, though they are at 10:30, although often after take-off late in the eleven , but anyway, back to recall a soul-stirring on the train, how was I given a ticket in advance, but you want to discount deal is off, love to do, is small.
bought tickets after they worry about, After this 0:00 to Yichang Three Gorges Airport was a small airport, traffic is not, I heard that there is no airport bus to pull passengers from the airport to the urban areas and do not know whether there are taxis, even if there is, to the city was not any of the that when Yang car, do I go from here? while away from home for two hours, and they are still not willing to Yichang and ye shall indeed a dilemma. to consider to consider going to pick up relatives in trouble Yichang night in their home , and dad get home I am going to go home directly to the car, between the two chose the latter, a heart was finally set.
I flew, the favorite is the period of flight attendants to passengers pour drinks time, because to see them smile and in the busy aisles, I felt that moment you are safe; with drinking hot coffee, incense, though thirsty, or you can let your emotions to relax.
Yichang are basically flying a small plane, flight attendants I was feeling good service, I suddenly felt like how the ears twitch, and it would not hear the sound, I press by the ears, and swallowing a few next, or can not hear the front with a pair of old little girl had been crying, how do I suddenly hear her voice? I press the ear and then swallow, or did not change much, and occasionally hear a while A little while and suddenly something like a plug to the ear, the sound and immediately disappeared. I'm about to press to go by, hard to swallow, is still effective. think may be causing the eardrum pressure swing around it, the problem should not hurt small, Ren Ren just fine.
flight attendants began to call for drinks, then gently asked me if I did not hear the sound, anyway, she asked to know the content, pointing to a cup of coffee. car push it away, I looked at Beautiful flight attendants back, very relaxed slowly drink coffee. feel a little bumpy flight, watching the flight attendants are still busy aisles, I believe nothing, still slow drink. aircraft continued to bump, I was nervous, but we still see the flight attendants in a warm smile, be still safe. God took a sip of coffee slowly, bumps are getting stronger. radio sounded: seat belt hh encountered strong turbulence and strong turbulence occurs, the temporary closure of toilets, drinks suspended, please travelers and shut, fasten your seat belts hh TV screens are also close up, the atmosphere was very tense. my heart, ah, once referred to the throat, immediately thought of my lovely daughter, that in case of fall?! parents to take care of whatever the outcome, and my sister, her husband also to find someone to me This year-old daughter?! my mind quickly turn the thought, grew more and more afraid, more afraid of the more to their comfort: certainly not! will not! strong turbulence is still continue, I most devoutly pray over and over again, repeated silently in my heart, . Suddenly, an intense burst of short-term weight loss after bumps, my heart was surprised to hear the cry of a middle-aged women, while the cabin soon after a brief agitation into a dead silence, people's fear and tension along with the roar of the aircraft. I stare at their watches, second hand in an extremely slow walk, every turn of a cell, such as a year, I comfort myself: every movement to secure a second plane away from the destination and near a number of hh
few seconds long, to suffer the bumps and the dreary past finally quiet the past, radio re-sounded, the cabin burst of sadly, flight attendants have again, look down under the table in front of the voices sounded, it was beginning to walk, I had a long, comfortable air.
smooth plane finally landed, my first time to the father waiting outside a telephone call, then is the mother's relatives in Shenzhen.
to the bathroom Riga sweaters come out, actually became the last guest, I am somewhat anxious to drag me out to go, the staff of the airport hall light side of the frontier said to me: a familiar voice call my name, my father had first seen me, saw the plane securely off the ground, and my heart was considered as ready! emotional expression, I would have threw himself into his arms, hugged him tightly, so that their experiences in a burst of good comfort frightened. I smiled, or to comfort my father: ! .
husband comes back, and he was talking about the tension experienced on the plane, thinking that the train round-trip plane trouble, the two discuss the good, NND, go back to a car, do not punch any convenient traveling by car to work happy to home this New Year hard red, we have to buy a car!
four and take the Beijing-Zhuhai Expressway to return home New Year continued hh
Fourth, take the Beijing-Zhuhai Expressway
two years after the Chinese New Year back home in March, will be car mentioned vehicles, to the end of the year, has been training six months, how technology has not improved, they are are eager. a car, and cares how hard ticket, how Britain aircraft, Beijing-Zhuhai Expressway has been all through, we drove back to Home New Year!
leave, finally get to the 05 foot a week before the Spring Festival trip back home was so excited, but still restrained, from time to time on the road to suppress their own fear of driving private cars to return home New Year's excitement, caution yourself: careless driving, safety first!
to drive home the same day, two in the morning to get up to collect her things, left the parking lot three, the security asked: ; this does not come back! in people between the infection and transmission, from the back as the mirror to see he had been standing outside the booth, with envious eyes on our car to leave, soft lights reflected on the joy on his face, as if the moment he himself set foot on the journey home.
to the gas station fill up, and take a ride home the driver friends, years of driving experience, technical skill, and her husband license has not yet arrived, only half a year of driving experience me, because it is driving at night to let him up.
half past three, we officially start. yesterday deliberately bought a New Year's celebration CD, this time letting go when released? Kung Hei Fat Choy, Happy New Year, percussion deafening sound of firecrackers with sound, happy and adrift in the car, the mood at the moment was completely out of the busy and intense work, friends began to taste the Chinese New Year.
on the GS, it began to rain, the car though not many, but the rain myself are under the greater, the speed has been maintained at around 120 only. rain busy brush back and forth, we said a joke, I feel very relaxed, removed hard to get votes, the pain of congestion, we have embarked on a home driving a new car the road, can not excited it? so we figured if the road has been the case, should be very easy to open at home. the beginning of the road conditions are some of the concerns fade away my heart, the highway outside the night was dark black in the morning , beyond the occasional car Jishi and over, I could not help but come to a contemptuous laugh: Let's safety first, not with them over!
talking and laughing, suddenly found the distance a piece of red, the driver quickly slow down, to the There, only to find that a turn in the middle of the road Pakistan is already beyond recognition, traffic police in the busy taking pictures, street lights are harsh on the police to arbitrary flash, flash popular chills. accident car occupied two lanes, Fortunately, not many cars early morning, did not cause any congestion, we have passed relatively smoothly, move on. the car was just not the atmosphere suddenly relaxed, confident driver friends to a judge comfort you Do not be nervous, all right.
bonus was a, the distance is a red light, the brakes slow down, after that period, saw a small face beyond recognition to turn in the middle of the road, not far from there is a truck turned in the parking lane, did not see to understand how the accident happened in the end, and a woman holding a child sitting in a dark street, sadly wiping away tears, it makes my heart feel good. I did not expect not to Beijing-Zhuhai good road, I am a bit eager, and the two saw the accident, I had backed away in the heart beat, the driver friend said: you! I can help you to look at cars! eyes stare ahead, talk to him from time to time, God would not let him run, let him fall asleep.
Optional smooth trail of the pavement, bright wide, did not think it was only three lanes, and feeling quite narrow, and some large trucks passing lanes to prevent the old occupied, driving up and feel not as comfortable, but clear signs'd won the bid, as long as note that basic does not go the wrong way.
