"Everyone is their first health responsibility"
Reporter: Yao _ Location: Beijing West Railway Station
Beijing West Railway Station is familiar to me. Whether you are on business or going home, you need to start here.
Remember going home before the Spring Festival last year. I need to confirm repeatedly whether my nucleic acid certificate has expired and whether the status of Beijing Health Bao is normal. This year, the epidemic prevention and control policy has been adjusted, and I can easily go home for the New Year.
There are many people in Beijing West Railway Station this year. Looking from the security checkpoint on the first floor to the waiting hall on the second floor, there are people on the escalator.
After entering the waiting hall, I found that the crowd I just saw was just a drop in the ocean. There are people carrying big bags and small bags, people with parents, and people holding babies, pushing strollers and carrying heavy luggage on their backs.
When waiting for the bus, you can often hear the radio reminding passengers to wear masks. However, the relevant copy has also been changed to: wearing a mask scientifically, everyone is the first responsible person for health.
And everyone, when listening to the radio, will also tighten their masks. Because everyone wants to go home healthy for the New Year.
Crowds poured into Beijing West Railway Station.
Almost every guardrail leans against a row of passengers.

On the afternoon of 65438+ 10 13, my companion and I returned to Wuhan by bus from Guangzhou South Railway Station.
Although, where I live, it is only half an hour's drive from Guangzhou South Railway Station. But I'm worried that during the rush hour in Spring Festival travel rush, there will be too many passengers at South Station and the waiting time for security check will be long. Finally, my companion and I went out two hours early.
There are not many passengers entering the station for security check. It only takes a few minutes. But as soon as I entered the waiting room, I found a sea of people inside.
In the waiting room, the seats are almost filled by passengers. There are also many passengers carrying big bags and small bags, dragging suitcases around the waiting room, hoping to find a seat to have a rest.
But most passengers can't get what they want. As a result, some of them sat on the floor directly against the post, and some passengers dragged their boxes and rested against the partition guardrail.
Almost every guardrail leans against a row of passengers. Most of them are staring at the big screen of the station, looking forward to the next ticket check, that is, their own car to go home.

There was a long line of people waiting for a taxi in high-speed railway station.

65438+ 10/3, many friends will go back to Wuhan. Because I promised them that I would pick them up at Wuhan Station when I returned to Han. That night, I also ate early and prepared to leave half an hour early.
My friends arrived at the station at 9: 30 pm. I thought there would be enough time, but the weather was bad and it rained heavily. I went out early for fear of traffic jam.
Good start, the road is clear. But when I got to the parking lot of P 1, I began to realize that the problem was wrong.
On the map, turn right into the parking lot of P 1 and the last 200 meters have been blocked by blood red. All three lanes have been blocked, and only the leftmost lane can still pass. "It's over", I looked at the clock that kept beating to 2 1: 10, thinking that my friends might have to wait for me in the wind for a while.
On my left, a big brother is talking on the phone anxiously. Maybe he is as afraid of missing time as I am.
Fortunately, this road is not blocked. 2 1:27, finally moved into the parking lot. Find a parking space skillfully, and then back into the warehouse in the traffic. Then I flew to the North Second Exit, but fortunately my friend hasn't left the station yet.
After receiving my friend, I turned around and found that when I came in, the taxi with a short queue had turned three times, and the queue length was nearly 200 meters.
"Fortunately, you picked us up." Friends are also very emotional. Another friend also said that the last time I saw such a long queue of taxis at Wuhan Station was on 20 18. After so many years, I finally felt the Spring Festival travel rush craze at Wuhan Station.
At Wuhan station, people lined up for taxis.
It only takes 3 minutes from the pit stop to the waiting time.

65438+1October 15 is the 9th day of Spring Festival travel rush in 2023. On the same day, I will travel by bus from Xi 'an North Station.
In the past three years, I have set off from here by bus many times. Before queuing at the station, you need to check the health code and nucleic acid certificate. Plus the security check, it takes a lot of time to enter a station. Every time I travel, I leave home early for the station.
This time, the most intuitive feeling is that the pit stop efficiency has been significantly improved. I calculated that it only takes three minutes to get to the station by bus from the city. All this is attributed to the adjustment and optimization of epidemic prevention policies.
Although the prevention and control policies have been adjusted, everyone in the waiting hall can consciously wear masks and do a good job of self-health protection. Many passengers also told me that they felt that Spring Festival travel rush's way home this year was easy and smooth, and more importantly, there was no psychological burden during the epidemic.

Taking the high-speed train home makes me feel at home.
Reporter: Zhao Delong Location: Xingshan Station, Hubei
I went back to my hometown in Xingshan from Wuhan a few years ago. After taking the high-speed train from Hankou Station to Yichang, it took more than an hour by car to Xingshan. I have to calculate the driving distance for most of the day in advance. Although anxious to return is at the end of the year, it is less hurried and more leisurely than in previous years.
On October 20th, 65438/KLOC-0, I embarked on a journey home with excitement after my holiday at work. Although Hankou Railway Station is still overcrowded, I am not in a hurry this time, because it takes only two and a half hours from Wuhan to Xingshan after the completion of the Zhengzhou-Chongqing high-speed railway.
Following the stream of people, I felt the joy of going home in the air. The moment I stepped on the train, I imagined that the picture of my hometown was about to emerge in front of me two hours later, and the joy in my heart was beyond words.
On June 20th last year, Zhengzhou-Chongqing high-speed railway was put into operation. Xingshan, my hometown, ended the history of not being able to access high-speed rail and officially entered the "high-speed rail era". The wishes of my hometown ancestors have finally come true.
In addition to convenient travel, Zhengzhou-Chongqing high-speed railway has further improved the rapid railway network in central and southwest China, which is of great significance for promoting the tourism development of my hometown, the Three Gorges reservoir area, and boosting regional economic growth.
Moreover, this is the first time that the Zhengzhou-Chongqing high-speed railway has ushered in the peak of Spring Festival travel rush, and it is also the first time that I have taken the high-speed railway directly to my hometown, which is of great significance to me.
I still remember the Spring Festival in 2022, the year is approaching, and the weather forecast says it may snow in Xingshan. My friend and I rented a car in advance because we were afraid of being blocked by snow on our way home. Who knows that the weather is not beautiful, and it snows heavily on the road. It's cold and slippery, so I have to deal with greeting calls from home every once in a while when driving. I was scared all the way and finally went home smoothly in the evening.
Looking back, the train has been driving at a high speed, and the green mountains and green waters outside the window are rapidly retrogressing. At noon 1, the train arrived at Xingshan Station safely. My cousin has been waiting at the exit. When he saw my first face, he said, it was really fast. It feels like working from home.
Xingshan Station has just opened.
