China's Guangdong Province, February 4, 2006. The increasing
number of farmers from the populous Sichuan and Hunan provinces who rush
south to Guangdong Province to find jobs are exerting heavy pressure on
trains, a railway official said
on Friday. Nearly 300,000 passengers arrived Friday in the Pearl
River Delta in Guangdong, a southern province that borders Hong Kong,
according to Ding Liang, an official with the Guangzhou
Railway Corporation
Group. [Newsphoto]
