The AP news
said China's New Year is "the world's biggest
movement of humanity". With the
of modern, high-speed transport in China, the number of people on the
has skyrocketed. The Xinhua news agency said journeys are expected to "hit record
" this year. When the first New Year holiday began in China, some 3,500 years ago, far
people would have left their hometowns. However, following the
growth of China's economy, billions of people have relocated across the country for work, study, or to greener
. The subsequent annual exodus has been a
for the economy. The tourism, hospitality and retail
see an uplift in profits.
