A moving 'kindergarten' in Spring Festival travel rush
Caring for and playing with children has become a new task for the attendants on a train running along the 3,056-kilometer route from Changchun, Northeast China's Jilin province, to Xiamen, East China's Fujian province, since Spring Festival travel rush began on Monday.
Since launched in December 2014, the Z102 train has been a popular option for migrant workers who come from Fujian and earn a living in northeastern China to go back home for reunion in Spring Festival, the most important event in the Chinese lunar calendar.
And the migrant workers usually take their children with them on their journey home for the festival. During the travel rush, the number of children under five usually accounts for 30 percent to 50 percent of the thousand-plus passengers, according to cnjiwang.com.
