Will China's Spring Festival travel rush continue?

Gordon (UK)

Maybe in 30 or 50 years the "chunyun" will have another meaning. Now most Chinese rush home during this period to reunite with their families, which is a tradition rooted in Chinese' hearts. When the younger generation becomes the pillar of the society, these open-mined people perhaps will see the holiday as a good opportunity to travel with their families or do something else that they don't have time to do due to tight working schedules. "Reunion" does not necessarily mean having a family dinner together at home any longer.
