For Chinese people, it is very important to go back home to celebrate the Spring Festival no matter how far away from home they are. About half a month from the Spring Festival is the busiest time for transportation systems. All airports, railway stations and long-distance bus stations are crowded with millions of people going home. Although tickets are hard to get, no one minds, because they are going home.

People work hard all-year, especially those who work or study far away from home. For them, the Spring Festival is a time for a family reunion, a time for a break and a time to relax. Although they can only stay at home for a short amount of time, and the tickets are hard to get, they can't say no to some time at home relaxing with their families.
When people return home from far away places, they bring laughter and happiness to their families. Going back home really makes the Spring Festival a celebration for everyone.
For Chinese, there is nothing more important that a family reunion during the Spring Festival. Best wishes for all going home for the holidays!
