A Glimpse of Chinese Spring Festival Migration

@Yizhi , that was beautifully and eloquently said. That's one thing i really admire about Chinese traits because it enables overall people not to be too rigid. It is a contrast to Japanese (not trying to put down myself or my people here, but just dichotimizing). Japanese are , in a sense, very rigid and like to do things in a certain way, tho they apply changes when necessary, overall there is a rigid structure in place. Whereas Chinese is very fluid, can be rigid when have to, can be soft when have to. We can best explain this in the martial arts. If we examine Chinese Kung Fu or Wu Shu , its very fluid. But if we examine Japanese Shotokan Karate -- the forms are pre-determined, are set in place, attacks and defense is rigid. In a way I kind of envy that fluidity of Chinese culture and nature. The word i like is adaptive, and i'm not just talking about technologically context (because in that sense Japanese and Chinese are similar), but I'm talking about the trans-social context.

For example, when I first got my apartment , it was my xgf who helped me design it, she being Teow Chu Chinese, always reminded me to keep everything Feng Shui designed. So here i am buying furniture from Ikea for my new place (modernity, ease) and she's the one telling me where to put the bed, what position the bed should be in, where to place the dining tables, the chairs, what kinds of plants to buy in the house (for good luck, apparently, lol). She was the one telling me to buy money trees , bamboo plants etc etc. Its amazing how when i observed her or listen to her she is able to reiterate all traditional Chinese mentality of the home according to Feng Shui, but she's Christain you know, lol. Talk about adaptation, man! hahaha.



O man, the Hot dry noodles looks delicious ! So it is the traditional dish of Wuhan , eh? I'm curious to know how the flavor is like now...



hehe. what can i say, i'm a thinker by nature, my little bro.

i see that you're also quite deep in social analysis, too. you're deep yourself. ;)
"Hot dry noodles" smells good with sesame soy in it, not spicy. I think you will like it.

I can see it. Have you been there before , to the Dr. Sun Yat Sen Mausoleum at the top of the mountain? Looks really beautiful shot. How cold was it there, btw? From the picture, it looks like it was a chilly morning.
Yeah, I have been there for several tiimes. Actually, it's very cold in winter in Nanjing, I was armed to the teeth on that day.

My absence won't be missed, if for no other reason than because I'm not a good fit for PDF. But not to worry: there are several highly intelligent users here on PDF, if one is patient enough to filter out the detritus--I merely find that my patience has largely run out. But I do enjoy reading well-thought out contributions at PDF, even if I no longer enjoy participating. As we can see from this very thread, new and interesting users join all the time.

Thank you for your wonderful contributions, @AndrewJin and @birdy . You are exactly the type of users that PDF needs.
Thank you, LeveragedBuyout.
I hope my post will help you know more about China.:-)

The interior of the Wuhan Railway Station.
The whole building seems to be steel frame construction.

I don't know how many platforms there are, please make your judgement by yourself.

Ma yun as a legend of wealth in China, is now adored by many chinese people. Many "spring festival migrants" were deeply attracted by Ma yun 's speech in a book store. It seemed as if time had stopped.

You are so generous to buy a first class. I always wanna try first class of Shanghai-Beijing HSR, but too beyond my financial capability.

How lucky I was, return home 20days before spring festival. My train was crowded with only a few standing, but not too congested

First class is very cosy. But second class is OK for me, at least better than economy class of airplane
