Standing in the train station plaza and looking around, you won't be able to ignore the plastic bags stuffed in the hands of passers-by.
Plastic noodles, tangerines and functional beverages are a common accompaniment to a car ride. Packing up carboy noodles to catch a ride is also a famous scene that many Shenzheners will put on at the station.
"Shenzhen earn Shenzhen spend, a don't want to bring home", although often so flirtatious and self-deprecating, but ask which Shenzhen people do not want to come to get money, want to New Year's clothing home? Save, naturally, in Shenzhen life has become a mandatory course.
Think about the price of boxed meals on the train, bring your own rations is obviously a more affordable option.
The flower on the flower, favoring gift boxes
While Shenzhen people always put "get money" on the lips, usually also careful budgeting, for the family to spend money when it is extraordinarily generous.
A variety of New Year's gift boxes are the "standard" for travelers returning home.
The gift box is not small, the journey time is very long, this intention or to insist on hand carry, convenient to enter the door immediately after the delivery.
And imported fruits such as raisins and Chelsea are also common choices for New Year's goods.
In the developed logistics today, across hundreds of kilometers, "human flesh to bring back" this sweet mouth, probably the unique romance of the travelers.
The station is different, the luggage is different
For travelers from the Shenzhen station, the ordinary train journey of ten or twenty hours is obviously a protracted battle. A water bottle, which can be huge, becomes essential.
The classic red and white woven bags, huge can be loaded with a big big backpack, also play a unique role.
Shenzhen North Railway Station passengers business model is even more intense. A lot of people a suitcase, a shoulder bag, to take care of all the belongings.
It can only be said that this group of walking with the wind of the urban elite, even the Spring Festival is like a business trip.
02 Lift is not a bucket, is practical and nostalgia
During the Spring Festival, "lifting a bucket to run" is no longer a phrase of network flirtation, but a realistic scene.
Hydraulic oil, grease, white paint ...... The text printed on the outside of the barrels quietly reveals the origin of these barrels.
It was once said that the bucket-carrying people on the way back home were the simplest of pragmatists, especially those white glue buckets. Both tough and loaded, and often free.
The small plastic bucket, open is the best storage tool, lightweight can be loaded; put down is a natural bench, sit down for a while to rest their feet.
Once a tool for survival, it has been transformed into a storage artifact, a portable seat. I can only say that the barrel can become the highest rate of appearance of the annual Spring Festival C seat, all depends on the strength.
As for the barrel are loaded with what? Some are empty, some are full, hangers, food, etc. are the most common, of course, there are a lot of unseen surprises and small thoughts.
Don't ask, ask is a bucket of homecoming and nostalgia.
03 The best New Year's goods, is to bring the baby home
Reunion, is the best New Year's goods
The station, can be seen everywhere to drag the family to catch the train family.
Reunion is the most awaited New Year's gift for the elderly who live far away from home.
The children sitting on the suitcases are not yet old enough to understand the significance of longing, and do not understand the significance of traveling halfway across China just to have a reunion.
The parents next to them are taking care of their children, but they are not slowing down. The company's main goal is to provide the best possible service to its customers," he said.
The children are also part of the Spring Festival labor force
The older children already know how to do things on their own, pulling the box to experience the atmosphere of the Spring Festival immersively.
Children's suitcases in different colors bring a splash of color, and passers-by can't help but smile.
As we grow up, we get used to the maturity of black, white and gray, and have long forgotten that our elementary school bags were also emblazoned with Robot Cat or Donald Duck.
But judging by the serious looks on the kids' faces, maybe it's not just clothes in there, it's also endless winter vacation homework.
Additionally, baby strollers play the role of airport luggage trolleys in some homes, and no matter what the bag, it's right to hang it up as if you're dressing up a Christmas tree.
I have to admire the parents' flexible minds. On the multi-purpose, Shenzhen people really have a hand.
04 Unique luggage, the story of their own wonderful
Spring road, we met with countless travelers at the train station, in addition to those regular luggage, but also captured some interesting moments.
Through these personalized items, we were able to get a glimpse of another side of the lives of these strangers.
Waiting for the train, a grandmother in ethnic dress takes out a needle and thread she carries with her and quietly embroiders insoles in a corner of the station.
A young man carrying a guitar on his back stands out in the crowd, perhaps as a hobby, or perhaps as his partner in making a living in Shenzhen.
A pot of New Year's flowers, probably the most special New Year's goods I've ever seen, some beautiful, can not only bloom in the south.
The yoga mat on the suitcase doesn't know who it belongs to, some people eat and drink, some people sneak inside the roll.
It is said that every festive season fat three pounds, keep up the movement, to the ball will be friends, can be said to be two birds with one stone.
Coming out in spring and summer, returning in winter, this fan may not be used for the time being, but it must be especially cool in summer.
100 bags are 100 kinds of life.
The travelers have different destinations, but they all lead to home.
When I was growing up, no matter how far I traveled to my home, and how heavy the baggage in my hands was, I was always full of anticipation when I was on my way.
Because the moment the train arrives at the station, we will be able to go back to our home where we can turn ourselves back into children.
