The Spring Festival travel rush is a microcosm of Chinese society. From green-skinned vehicles to the "Fuxing", from ordinary-speed railways to high-speed railway networks, China Railway has written the great changes of the times with solid tracks. With the support of the "eight vertical and eight horizontal" high-speed rail network, the Spring Festival travel rush is no longer a long journey, but an artery that accelerates reunion.
High-speed rail shortens the distance between time and space and narrows the sense of belonging in people's hearts. The China-Europe Express has traveled across mountains and seas, bringing Chinese manufacturing to the world, and at the same time it also sends overseas goods to thousands of households, injecting new impetus into the construction of the "Belt and Road". China's railways use their huge development achievements to show the pace of Chinese modernization, and the micro story of every railway youth is a warm footnote in this magnificent picture.

"Although the flight attendant's work is trivial and busy, as long as I think that my job is to allow more people to reunite with their families safely and smoothly, my heart will be warm. I will protect every beauty, convey every warmth, and let love and responsibility move forward with the train until the distance." The words of Ouyang Yijun, the commander of the Nanchang Passenger Transport Section of China Railway Nanchang Bureau Group Co., Ltd., represent the voice of 700,000 railway youths.
