Chinese people typically celebrate lunar new year with their families. Since many people work or study far from their hometowns, this time of year is one of the busiest times for travel. Government officials estimate over 230 million people will travel on trains in the next few weeks. A few VIA volunteers plan to join the millions as they visit their students’ families to ring in the new year. We will be sharing a few new year’s stories on the blog this month.
