In 2022, the "motorcycle army" became a "straggler". Why don't migrant workers ride motorcycles collectively when they return home?

As the New Year approaches, farmers who have worked outside for a year begin to return home. At this time, although it is freezing, farmers returning home can be seen in railway stations and bus stations all over the country. They sat on the platform or leaned against the wall in twos and threes, joking with each other when they were young and confused and lonely when they were old. A year has passed, what shall we do next year? Now Spring Festival travel rush has begun. According to past practice, many migrant workers have to ride motorcycles home in groups of three or five. Why did the "motorcycle army" of migrant workers return home this year and become "stragglers"?

I remember that a few years ago, Brother Li next door took his son to work in Suzhou. At the end of the year, he always calls other young people in the village to come back from Suzhou by motorcycle. Because of the cold weather, Brother Li wrapped his cotton army coat tightly, and then trapped his son on himself. His trouser legs are wrapped in plastic sheets, and he can go back to his hometown from 5 am to 8 pm except for eating and going to the toilet.

And why is the trace of the "motorcycle army" gone this year? Instead, I went home sporadically, and the previous excitement disappeared. I think the specific reasons may be as follows:

First of all, the weather is cold.

As we all know, this year's winter is quite cold, especially the slight cold solar terms, and the temperature is generally below 4℃. This kind of weather is unbearable for people riding battery cars in the countryside, not to mention it is not easy to earn some money on the highway where the wind is raging. But once the bones are frozen, they will lose the capital to "make money" in the coming year, so everyone will go home by train and car sporadically.

Second, motorcycles have been eliminated.

Now motorcycles are gradually replaced by cars, and cars have entered the homes of ordinary people. This is also a symbol of the prosperity of modern rural farmers. Even if their daily trips are replaced by battery cars, the era of motorcycles is gone forever, and farmers who go out to work are also using cars as a means of transportation. No matter how to make money, cars have almost become a necessary means of transportation, so many migrant workers drive alone, which is very convenient.

Third, the cause of the epidemic.

At present, epidemics still occur sporadically in China, especially in Xi and Henan recently. Although the epidemic has been controlled at present, the potential risks still exist, and migrant workers also call for not gathering, not gathering, and scattered home, so the once "motorcycle army" disappeared and was replaced by cars, trains and other means of transportation.

In short, the Spring Festival travel rush craze has begun in 2022, and the "motorcycle army" has become a "straggler", which is not only a change in farmers' mode of transportation, but also a cash withdrawal from a rich life, and a microcosm of the development of the times. Maybe the "motorcycle army" will only appear in movies in the future.
