A migrant worker who was urged by Premier Li Keqiang to observe Spring Festival with his family members headed home on Wednesday morning.

Yang Xiufeng, who works in Fenghua, Zhejiang province, received calls from many reporters and colleagues after he had a phone call from Li on Monday. Li was visiting poor households and left-behind children in Yang's hometown in Ankang, Shaanxi province.

Yang will spend about 27 hours on the train and will be able to have dinner with his family members on the eve of Lunar New Year.
