1.3 billion people crowded China, bear children each year almost equal to the population of Australia today. When so many people decide to move from one part of this country to another part of it at a same short period-such as "national legal holiday", "farmer workers' return home tide" and "farmer workers' back to work tide". Chinese tend to describe people's collective move as "tide" or "torrent", which create the exactly the similar effect as enormous sum of people's move. China, at the present time, has laid totally 3.48 million kilometer railroad, and transport almost 1.1 billion people a year. The train, as the main transportion in china, altough whose treval fee is not cheap to the people of this "the bigest developing country in the world", is the only travel manner that the most of chinese could bear. Chinese government have three "official holiday", i.e. national day holiday (1st October), labour's holiday (1st May) and traditional spring festival, all enforce a week-long holiday for chinese citizen to celebrate, relax themselves, travel around the country or abroad, make a reunion with family. ect. In this year's national day holiday, right after the Paralympic Games, I made a journey to Wuhan from Xiamen, and when I return at 5th October, I shot the pictures in the train-K243.
