BUSY WORKERS

It is the busiest season for railway staff given how many people travel during Spring Festival.

"I feel guilty when I think of my family," said Liu Tiejun, 28, a dispatcher at Southwest China's Chongqing North Railway Station. His wife and one-year-old son live in Shandong Province.

Due to his work commitments, he has not spent the last four Spring Festivals with his family. "But I feel happy to be helping others to go home," he said.

Many delivery workers also cannot go back home for the festival.

After a busy and tiring day, Yan Yong, a courier in Beijing, submerged his freezing hands in a basin of hot water.

This was the sixth Spring Festival that he has been away from his family, who live in Sichuan.

"My company encourages us to invite our family to Beijing for the festival. But my wife has to care for my parents, so I am alone," he said.
