Comment on "Rush home for Spring Festival" (China Daily website, Jan 8)

When I look at photographs that show how difficult it is for common people to return home for Spring Festival, I feel China has a long way to go before it could fully upgrade its economic structure, change its economic development model and make its infrastructure good enough to meet all demands. The authorities should pay attention to the unbalanced regional development, and make more efforts to develop the central and western regions if they want to solve social problems such as heavy traffic during Spring Festival.
