The movie "11 Days of Snow and Ice" tells the story of a sudden cold wave that hit the south in 2008, leaving hundreds of thousands of travelers stranded at Guangzhou Railway Station. For ten days, countless travelers cried, shouted and fainted in the freezing wind and rain. Tens of thousands of public security police used their physical bodies to form a human wall to maintain order and ensure safety.

Many viewers wondered why they didn't stay in their local area for New Year's Eve without a train. They go home, not just working more than 300 days a year need to rest, not just because they miss their families and their hometown, it is likely to stay in the local basic life is difficult. When you work abroad, it's okay if you have a rented room and a place to stay. But food and drink can be a real problem. If you work in a factory, the factory will be closed once the work stops. The employees don't even have a shelter from the wind and rain, let alone food and drink.

The snowstorm of 2008 did not affect me much, and I had just entered my senior year of high school. The school said that the winter vacation to make up for the result of two days of heavy snow, the morning after the examination, the afternoon school emergency arrangements for vacation. I was really impressed by the out-of-town New Year's Eve, which was the first year I graduated and worked. That year I worked in a foreign chain fast food restaurant, a small assistant manager. Such fast food restaurants are open 24 hours a day all year round. There is no rest on New Year's Day, and the employees get triple overtime pay and subsidies. I coveted these and decided not to go home for the New Year. Fast food restaurant opened in the downtown business district, with the arrival of the winter holidays, other restaurants closed, to more and more customers. It was busy every day. The restaurant's cheerful New Year's song, the festive atmosphere, so that people briefly forget the first time not to go home for the New Year's loss.
