My wife and I are traveling today (in the US). So I thought it would be appropriate to share a couple of photo articles with you from the Peoples Daily.
China is getting ready for Spring Festival (Chinese New Year) and this year they expect to sell 2.8 billion tickets for trains, long distance buses, and flights. As you can see from the photos here and here, it is a mess.
At China Change, a few dedicated staff bring you information about human rights, rule of law, and civil society in China. We want to help you understand aspects of China’s political landscape that are the most censored and least understood. We are a 501(c)(3) organization, and your contribution is tax-deductible. For offline donation, or donor receipt policy, check our “Become a Benefactor” page. Thank you.

2.8 billion tickets? Must include round trips and transfers.
Have a good trip to the states. Where will you be visiting and for how long? – Marvin
