Three days to go till Spring Festival eve and passenger flows will be hitting a peak1 this week. Getting home, surrounded by millions of people, is no easy task.

Bringing gifts for relatives - a crucial2 part of the journey home.

53-year-old Xu Hu makes a living collecting scrap3 in Beijing. This year, his gifts for his friends in Henan Province are rather unusual.But the railway police don’t think it’s such a good idea.

Every transport hub is over-crowded, a problem for those carrying a lot of luggage.It’s easy to lose something,especially money. But some people are just lucky.

However hard it is, people keep trying their best to make it -- knowing that the best time of the year awaits4, at journey’s end.
