US media focus on China Spring Festival

Global network reporter Tanlia reported that "Spring Festival" is not only a popular topic of Chinese attention, but also caused foreign media attention.　　CNN January 28 published a description of the spring festival in the eyes of the Americans, and paid special attention to the new pattern of the Spring Festival after China's high-speed railways joined. reported that China's Spring Festival is "the largest annual population migration tide on Earth." With China's most important festival-the advent of the Spring Festival, the annual spring tide has also opened.　　But many people face the "one vote hard" phenomenon, and they sometimes have to queue up at a crowded train station for hours or even days to buy tickets home. The report said China has been trying to improve infrastructure and try to make the Spring festival easier, including the construction of high-speed rail.　　Many individuals or organizations, including the World Bank, support China's high-speed rail system, thinking that its construction creates new jobs and, after completion, can share traditional railway capacity, make transportation faster and achieve resource savings. But the report also said that because the price of high-speed railway tickets compared to ordinary tickets are much higher, a lot of people want to go home for the holidays can not afford to pay, and sometimes even appear "by high-speed" situation. The report quoted a professor at the Beijing Jiaotong University as saying, "the high-speed rail to ordinary people is not meaningful, because it is too expensive," each building a kilometer of high iron money can be used to build three kilometers of ordinary rail, operating costs are very high. The professor also said that in some parts of China traditional railways were closed, forcing passengers to opt for high-speed rail.　　It was reported that the "high speed" was born and became a hot word for the Internet.　　The report says that while high-speed rail can save a lot of money for passengers, many people "don't care about time and distance", they only care about costs. "Of course I want to take the train," said a plumber working in Suzhou, "but I don't have that much money, if it's cheaper." ”
