In order to buy the New Year's train ticket home, Guangzhou decoration Workers Zhang (alias) a painstaking effort. His son and daughter-in-law a little understand computer operation, 2 people at the same time use home two computers on 12306 website "Rob Ticket", all failed to succeed. Zhang, who is ignorant of computers, tries to get a chance at a train ticket and fails to do so.

Now young people are used to buying train tickets on 12306 websites. Not familiar with the network of Zhang, but by the digital threshold to block the way home.

Spring Festival is called "the largest cyclical migration of mankind". At the beginning of the 2014 "Spring Festival", in a short period of 40 days, China's total of 3.6 billion people through a variety of public transport, of which travel through the railway a total of 266 million passengers.

During the Spring Festival travel, train ticket is to rely on "Rob". Train tickets for 2015 Spring Festival were sold on December 7. To December 26 19 days, a total of nearly 700 million people landing 12306 sites, buy 62.81 million train tickets. The Internet ticket is only 9% hit.

Zhang don't know anything about computers. As long as he had no job to do, he took his grandson to the various train tickets for sale. Consignment point adhering to the tradition of queuing to buy tickets, but compared to the site pre-sale 60 days ticket, pre-sale point only 58 days in advance tickets.

The same day of train tickets, website sales than the dot consignment two days earlier. This means that to the pre-sale point to grab the appropriate time period tickets, can only rely on "leackage check", or someone on the Internet refund.

A conductor who has been at the point of sale for 5 years told Zhang, "There are no tickets these days. ”

According to a survey published by the National Bureau of Statistics, nearly 50% of China's 269 million migrant workers are aged 34 or above, and only 14.1% of them have high school and higher education. This group of people lack the experience of Internet ticketing, do not know how to pay online. They are still accustomed to buying tickets in the most traditional window.

In fact, as early as the early 2012, 12306 after the first spring festival, migrant workers to the former Ministry of Railways wrote to comment: "Our factory more than 40 workers will not get the computer." The boss sympathize with us, help us to buy tickets online, the result he made a half-day, also can not get up, not into, is no ticket. The boss said, even if there is a ticket, but also have to open what net silver. We are working, not white-collar, which will open this, this is not with the toes to come out? ”

The letter also said: "The annual spring Festival, queuing to buy tickets for our migrant workers is torture." This year we want this kind of torture, there is no. ”

However, Zhang's son last year successfully through the Internet to rob the New Year's Eve before the ticket home. Failed this year, "to Rob 4, a little difficult." "Zhang said. He didn't know what the ticket software was, he said, "It's a young man's game. ”

When the digital threshold in front of him is still overstating, now 12306 on the purchase of tickets developed to the "second kill."

December 19, 12306 website began the pre-sale of 28 tickets. On this day, the site hits a record-click 29.7 billion times within 24 hours, equivalent to the average Chinese click 22 times.

A browser based on netizens using the software to rob the ticket data released the "Chinese Return to the map": Guangdong Province, which has 16.6 million migrant workers, has become the biggest province in China, and Guangzhou has become the country's first online ticket-grabbing city-the number of users in Guangzhou to grab the votes of 37.5%.

This led directly to the New Year's Eve from Guangzhou to Hunan, Hubei, Sichuan, Chongqing, Henan, Shaanxi, Jiangxi and other land train tickets, in the shortest number of seconds after the release, the longest within half an hour, all sold out.

will use 12306 Web site has not enough, at least will be used to rob ticket software-inverted ticket "ox" has used this "artifact", delineated a large number of votes.

CCTV reported that the network "cattle" using the ticket software in just 10 minutes to snatch 1245 tickets, a train ticket instant monopoly. Zhu Jianseng, deputy director of the Institute of Electronic Computing Technology at the Academy of Railway Sciences, said in an interview with the Xinhua news agency that a large number of "cattle" use the ticket software, and some of the ticket software breakthrough 5 Seconds to refresh, "can brush how fast brush how fast" to 12306 of the web system burden.

According to the Xinhua news agency, as 12306 of the tickets to the 45-minute payment period, "ox" in this time period, looking for buyers. Once you find a buyer, put this ticket out and use the information from the real buyer to buy the ticket. Because the speed of the ticket software faster than the normal operation of a lot of speed, can be achieved in the moment of putting the ticket back to the "ox" hand. If the buyer is still not found within 45 minutes, the same way can be votes firmly control in the hands of "ox".

In addition to 60 days in advance ticket sales, the Spring Festival train ticket sale also carried out 15 days advance refund free of charge. So "hoarding votes family" accompanied by "ox" appeared at the same time.

According to the real-name rules, a valid ID card in the same travel date, the same train can only buy one ticket. And for different days of the same train or the same day different trips, the use of the same identity card number booking is unlimited. "Some passengers hoarding more train tickets do not violate the real-name rules for train tickets," the ministry said. ”

This makes "ticket-grabbing" competition significantly more intense than last year.

Helping migrant workers to cross the digital threshold has become a new subject. In Beijing West station and South Station, there have been two groups of college students volunteer, to help the queuing ticket buyers use mobile phone registration 12306, and download the installation software to buy train tickets.
