The sixth day of the first lunar month coincides with the beginning of the Spring Festival. Early in the morning, Qin Jinying from Fenghuang Town, Xingbin District, Laibin City, Guangxi put on an infrared jacket, put on her own bacon and sausages to return to Guangdong to work.

13:02, she boarded the D3755 train for free return to Guangzhou. This is the first special train for migrant workers to return to work organized by the Guangdong Provincial Human Resources and Social Security Department after this year's Spring Festival. More than 600 migrant workers in Guangxi embarked on a journey to return to work.

The factory started construction on the ninth day of the first lunar month, and she planned to look for odd jobs first. During his nine years of working in Shenzhen, Qin Jinying worked in the auto parts factory from Monday to Friday from 8 am to 8 pm, and went to a nearby supermarket to work as a salesperson on weekends. "I'm used to it and don't feel it's hard." According to reports, human resources and social security departments at all levels in Guangdong Province plan to organize about 20 special trains to return to work after the Spring Festival to help migrant workers enter Guangdong and return to work conveniently.

38-year-old Liao Qiuyan and her husband work in Boluo County, Huizhou, Guangdong Province. Her daughter just entered the first grade in a local public primary school last year. "It is very convenient to apply for 'point admission' with the information directly." She said with relief that taking her daughter with her, although the cost of living is higher, she can take care of her better. Her daughter enthusiastically told reporters which school she attended and how many people were in the class. After working abroad for more than ten years, the couple built a three-story building in their hometown, and lived a dull and happy life.

Data from the Ministry of Education shows that currently more than 95% of the children of migrant workers studying in public schools and enjoying government-purchased degree services.

In the car, 42-year-old Li Xiuyuan took the third-level vocational skills certificate of nanny who was obtained last year and was preparing to work in housekeeping in Guangzhou. With this "heavy" pass, she felt particularly at ease and full of longing.

She said that the house at home has been built for ten years, but the renovation has been on hold. She wanted to put the red bricks on ceramic tiles and paint the walls freshly. "I also plan to continue learning and improve my skills in maternal and child care, early parenting education, etc. to increase employment opportunities and income," said Li Xiuyuan.

Youth and vitality are also surging in the carriage. Ji Liuxin is a post-00s generation. He graduated from a college degree last year and is currently working as a mechanic in an automobile manufacturing company in Shenzhen. He said that he will work hard to learn R&D knowledge related to automobile manufacturing, participate in training and improve his skills, and strive to transform into an engineer.

The beginning of spring is giving birth to new hope. At 16:30, the train arrived at Guangzhou South Station. People are rushing to a new journey with the expectations of the new year. (Reporter Zhong Zhuo)
