The "motorcycle army" in the Spring Festival travel rush craze gradually disappeared.

The "motorcycle army" in Spring Festival travel rush boom has gradually disappeared. According to China News Service, there are few motorcycles returning to Guangxi from Guangdong and passing through 32 1 National Road in Dongkou, Wuzhou, Guangxi. It is difficult to see the motorcycle army returning home on a large scale. The "motorcycle army" in the Spring Festival travel rush craze gradually disappeared.

The "motorcycle army" at the peak of Spring Festival travel rush gradually disappeared at 1 1 2 1. 13: 08, the d36 14 train from Guangzhou, Guangdong to Baise, Guangxi, carrying 6 13 migrant workers, departed from Guangzhou South Railway Station and headed for Guangxi. Many of these tourists from Guangxi were members of the "motorcycle army" a few years ago.

According to the introduction of Guangzhou Railway Group, on June 5438+1October 265438+1October 22, Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area will also run seven high-speed trains to Guangxi, so that more motorcycle enthusiasts can bid farewell to their motorcycle journeys and take the high-speed train home safely and quickly.

It has been noticed that the motorcyclists who came back from the Spring Festival travel rush craze ten years ago, also known as the "motorcyclist army", were once a special attraction in the Spring Festival travel rush craze, and the number of them exceeded one million at the peak. Motorcycle parts are easy to break down, riding is easy to fatigue, long-distance driving is unfamiliar, road conditions are unfamiliar, and the cold weather makes people uncomfortable, which leads to frequent safety accidents of "motorcycle army", which makes people worry.

In recent years, with the development of high-speed rail, the increase of private cars and the change of travel mode, the number of "motorcycle army" has gradually decreased. Recently, the reporter found in Foshan, Zhaoqing and other places where the "motorcycle army" must pass in previous years that the long motorcycle fleet disappeared in the early years, and the traffic accidents caused by motorcycles also decreased a lot.

20 17, a post-80s youth named Long Fei, recorded with live lens. Since Spring Festival travel rush last year, Longfei no longer needs to ride a motorcycle to go home, because he bought a car.

"This crowd has really become very few, and this is the great progress of society." A field worker who participated in charity activities lamented.

The "motorcycle army" once exceeded 6.5438+0 million.

Once a unique landscape in Spring Festival travel rush's boom, the scale of "motorcycle army" is decreasing year by year, from "army" to "stragglers".

According to the report of Workers' Daily on June 5438+1October 2 1 in 2022, "The situation of riding motorcycles home this year is less than in previous years." At the peak of Spring Festival travel rush, returning to Guangxi from Guangdong, the motorcycle traffic passing through No.321National Road, the east exit of Wuzhou, Guangxi, is sparse. Talking about the "motorcycle army" that swarmed in the past, Che Huanbin, the stationmaster of Wuzhou gas station on the side of National Highway 32 1, said with emotion, "In the past, motorcycles piled up in Spring Festival travel rush to grab gas stations, but now this scene has disappeared for several years."

It has been noticed that in recent years, the "motorcycle army" reported by Spring Festival travel rush Peak is gradually decreasing every year.

The motorcycle army can be traced back to the Spring Festival travel rush craze in 2000, and its birth has a special background.

In the early 1980s, with the rapid economic development in the coastal areas of Guangdong Province, tens of millions of migrant workers went to the Pearl River Delta to work, which repeatedly pushed up the number of people sent to Spring Festival travel rush peak and increased the pressure of railway transportation. However, up to now, the status of the railway as the main force of Spring Festival travel rush's medium and long distance has not wavered. In the era of Spring Festival travel rush without high-speed rail, the railway transportation capacity from the Pearl River Delta to the southwest including Guangxi has been very tight. Before the opening of the Nanguang-Guiguang high-speed railway, only guangzhou-maoming railway was connected between the two areas, and the lines were mixed passenger and freight lines, so the passenger capacity was extremely limited. Although the railway department has done its best to increase passenger trains, there is still a big gap between the capacity and the actual demand, and even the dilemma of "one ticket is hard to find" appears.

Around 2000, train tickets were still "hard to find", and many migrant workers bought motorcycles. With the help of the newly emerging online chat tools, many migrant workers in the Pearl River Delta began to ride motorcycles back to Guangxi and Hunan for the New Year in droves, even as far away as Guizhou, Yunnan and Chongqing, and finally merged into a mighty "motorcycle army".

In the Spring Festival travel rush craze in 2008, the "motorcycle army" attracted the attention of the whole society and the media. Local governments along the line set up rest spots and temporary gas stations along the national road where the "motorcycle army" passed, and provided free catering services. In 20 12, Spring Festival travel rush's "motorcycle army" has reached a considerable scale. Zhaoqing, the only city that returned to Guangxi, had an average of more than 500 vehicles from Spring Festival travel rush at the beginning of the rush, increasing to more than 10000 vehicles at the peak. At that time, the total number of "motorcycle army" exceeded 300 thousand. In order to ensure the safety of the "motorcycle army", the local party Committee and government even used police cars to clear the way for them.

By the peak of 20 14 in Spring Festival travel rush, the flow of motorcycles returning home continued to increase substantially, and the "motorcycle army" once approached 600,000 people. Zhaoqing and other places arrange 1000 staff every day to provide them with voluntary services such as guidance, rescue and catering.

According to public reports, according to the statistics of the Guangdong Provincial Department of Transportation, the number of "motorcycle troops" returning from various provinces and regions during peak hours exceeded 6.5438+0 million, which became a unique picture of the Spring Festival travel rush boom in southern China.

High-speed rail opens "motorcycle army" drops sharply

Guangxi has always been a major labor exporting province, with 7 million migrant workers going to Guangdong every year. Riding back to Guangxi from the Pearl River Delta, most of them can arrive in one day. Therefore, in the "motorcycle army", the most migrant workers are from Guangxi.

At the end of 20 14, after the opening of Guiguang and Nanguang high-speed railways, the travel time from Guangzhou to Guilin was reduced to 3 hours, which was more than 8 hours shorter than before the opening; The travel time from Nanning to Nanning was reduced to 4 hours, which was 10 hours shorter than before the opening.

The opening of these two high-speed railways not only adds a choice for migrant workers in Guangxi to go home. Data show that during their stay in Spring Festival travel rush, Guiguang and Nanguang high-speed railways can transport 30,000 people every day. There is a safer and faster high-speed rail ride. In that year, the "motorcycle army" dropped by 200 thousand.

According to the data of Wuzhou Transportation Department, there were 250,000 vehicles in Spring Festival travel rush in 20 14, 50,000 vehicles in Spring Festival travel rush in 20 19, and only 5,000 vehicles in Spring Festival travel rush in 20021year. It is estimated that there will be less than 1000 motorcycles this year.

From 20 16 to 20 18, the "motorcycle army" returned home for three consecutive years. The reporter found that the "motorcycle army" showed a decreasing trend year by year, and still insisted on returning home by motorcycle, many of which were because of their hobby of riding motorcycles.

On the other hand, although it is more convenient to go home by motorcycle, it also brings many security risks. According to statistics, in the 20 days before the Spring Festival of 20 14, the traffic jam caused by the "motorcycle army" reached more than 30 times every day, and the most one day caused more than 50 traffic accidents. Every year at the peak of Spring Festival travel rush, the traffic control departments and all walks of life in cities along Guangdong and Guangxi are very worried and nervous.

Xie Yi, a professor at the Party School of Shenzhen Municipal Committee, believes that there are many hidden dangers in the "motorcycle army". First of all, according to the requirements of motorcycle production and design, body parts are not suitable for long-distance driving, and long-distance driving is prone to failure, resulting in traffic accidents. Secondly, cycling for a long time makes people stiff and prone to visual fatigue, which leads to weakened adaptability. Thirdly, most people run long distances by bike temporarily, and they are unfamiliar with driving and road conditions, which is prone to accidents. In addition, the cold weather near the Spring Festival is easy to make people feel unwell and cause safety accidents.

With the opening of the high-speed trains in Nanguang and Guiguang, from the peak of 20 15 in Spring Festival travel rush, the railway department joined forces with the party committees and governments of Guangdong and Guangxi, mainstream media and caring enterprises to launch a "motorcycle army" high-speed train to escort them home safely. 20 16 Spring Festival travel rush, also launched a "motorcycle" freight train at the same time, allowing them to go home before the holiday and rework after the holiday, so that they can use motorcycles.

In Spring Festival travel rush in 2022, for the eighth consecutive year, the railway department, in conjunction with local governments, mainstream media and caring enterprises, organized eight high-speed trains to "warm the sun in winter" in an effort to reduce the scale of the "motorcycle army".

Guangzhou Railway Group said that during the eight years from 20 15 to the peak of Spring Festival travel rush in 2022, Guangzhou Railway Group and Nanning Bureau cooperated with government departments and corporate media to open a special train for migrant workers to return home every year. On the one hand, due to the rapid development of China railway, the world's largest high-speed rail network has been built, Spring Festival travel rush's transportation capacity has been greatly improved, and Spring Festival travel rush's speed has been further accelerated; On the other hand, all walks of life are more concerned about migrant workers, especially the special group of "motorcycle army", and are grateful for their hard work. I hope that by opening the high-speed rail, we can guide everyone to go home safely by high-speed rail instead of riding a motorcycle.

The protagonist who rode home live has already bought a car.

The gradual reduction of the "motorcycle army" has benefited from the development of high-speed rail to improve the transportation capacity and make everyone go home faster and safer; On the other hand, with the rapid development of economy and society, many migrant workers have accumulated certain wealth, and they can choose to drive or even fly home.

"I am proud to see the city becoming more and more beautiful, because I am also one of the builders." Huang Aiguo, a native of Baise, Guangxi, has worked in Foshan, Guangdong for 30 years. He used to be a construction worker, earning up to 4000 yuan. Now I am old, and I work as a material keeper with a salary of only 2000 yuan.

Huang Aiguo said that if you don't go out to work, you won't have money. There are three children to start a family and elderly parents to support, so the economic pressure is great. In order to go home conveniently, he bought an old motorcycle and rode it home every Spring Festival. This year, he took the free high-speed train home.

Wang Huizhen, who worked in Guangzhou, was once a member of the "motorcycle army". He calculated an account: going back to his hometown in Binyang, Guangxi by car, the fare is more than 200 yuan, and it takes 10 hour to get home; Going home by motorcycle is only half the cost of taking a car, but it takes 15 hours to go home, which is very hard and unsafe. Guangzhou to Nanning high-speed rail fare 169 yuan, you can get home in 4 hours. After comparison, he now chooses to take the high-speed train home.

Zhou Guangrong, who works in an electronics factory in Shenzhen, is a veteran. He used to ride a motorcycle home for many years. This year, he chose to take the high-speed train home, feeling safe and comfortable. Zhou Guangrong said, "In the past, more than 65,438+00 villagers worked in a factory in Guilin, Guangxi, and most of them went home by bike. Now everyone earns more than 5,000 yuan a month, and their families are getting richer. They either carpool or take the high-speed train home. This year, my fellow villagers advised me not to go home by bike. The road is very unsafe. "

After 80s, Longfei is a native of Qiandongnan Prefecture, Guizhou Province, and also a cycling enthusiast, who often rides his hometown for the New Year. In 20 17, Longfei once took his wife and daughter and spent two days returning home thousands of miles. The hard journey of dragonfly riding home was recorded with live footage. In the Spring Festival travel rush craze of 202 1, Longfei no longer needs to ride a motorcycle to go home, because he bought a car.

On June 8, 2022 18 18, next to the gas station at the intersection of Foshan Expressway, several people riding motorcycles were chatting while waiting for free refueling. This is a silhouette of the public welfare activity of "Love Warm Station Full of Love to Go Home" that has lasted for many years. The on-site staff said that all walks of life are paying more and more attention to the "motorcycle army". There used to be hundreds of motorcycles waiting to refuel, but now only scattered vehicles are refueling. "This crowd has really become very few. This is a great progress of society. "

According to the forecast of Guangzhou Railway Group, Spring Festival travel rush is expected to transport 46.5 million passengers in 2022, more than Spring Festival travel rush in 2065160,000 passengers. This year, the capacity of Guangzhou Railway, especially the high-speed rail, reached the peak over the years, accounting for more than 70% of the total capacity. Among them, the transportation capacity of Nanguang and Guiguang high-speed railways reached a record high, with an average daily transportation capacity of more than 90,000 people.

"On the premise of doing a good job in the prevention and control of COVID-19 epidemic normalization, it is necessary to transport more passengers safely with the fastest speed to rush to Spring Festival travel rush. With the continuous improvement of the high-speed rail network, more and more passengers take the high-speed rail, and the way for passengers to go home becomes faster, more comfortable and safer. Xiang Peng, chief engineer of the passenger transport department of Guangzhou Railway Group, said.

The "motorcycle army" in the Spring Festival travel rush craze gradually disappeared. 2 "At the peak, nearly 20,000 motorcycles pass by every day, but this year's traffic volume has dropped significantly, with the peak of 65,438+1October 27th being more than 7,400." According to China News Service, there are few motorcycles returning to Guangxi from Guangdong and passing through 32 1 National Road in Dongkou, Wuzhou, Guangxi. Talking about the "motorcycle army" that swarmed in those years, the service staff at the National Highway 32 1 Inter-provincial Spring Festival travel rush Emergency Service Station sighed with emotion, "It's hard to see the motorcycle army returning home in groups of three or five. Most of them are sporadic vehicles now. "

"If you have money, go home for the Spring Festival". China people's feelings for the Spring Festival have been integrated with going home, and the whole family will be reunited and happy during the Spring Festival. The "motorcycle army" has returned home in the past ten years, which has become a scene in the craze of Spring Festival travel rush. However, it has become an indisputable fact that millions of motorcyclists gradually faded out of the Spring Festival travel rush craze during the peak period.

The change of "motorcycle army" into "scattered soldiers" is a microcosm of China's economic strength. The popularity of "motorcycle army" is a helpless move. Ten hours' journey, biting cold wind and time-saving motorcycles have become the first choice for Guangdong and Guangxi to return home, forming a mighty "motorcycle army". With the continuous development of society, China's economy is strong and resilient, and the fruits of economic development benefit the people. People's wallets are thick and their waists are naturally hard. More comfortable and safe private cars and high-speed trains have become a better choice for people to return home in Spring Festival travel rush.

The change of "motorcycle army" into "scattered soldiers" is a witness to the continuous development of China railway. The sharp decline of "motorcycle army" is certainly influenced by epidemic factors, but it is more due to China's tightly woven high-speed rail network and its entry into the high-speed rail era. The vigorous implementation of 12306 has saved people from waiting in line all night. The rapid "Fuxing" saved 20 or 30 hours of suffering, and a series of trains ready to go greatly eased the dilemma of "one ticket is hard to find". The continuous progress and development of China Railway has provided people with more efficient, convenient and safe services, and their home has become closer.

The "motorcycle army" of Spring Festival travel rush boom gradually disappeared. 3 Remember the "motorcycle army" of Spring Festival travel rush boom?

At one time, whenever the Spring Festival approached, tens of thousands of migrant workers in Guangdong packed their bags and rode "my beloved scooter" back home for the New Year, regardless of the wind and rain. The mighty "motorcycle army" became a unique scenery during Spring Festival travel rush.

According to the data, during the rush hour in Spring Festival travel rush in 20 13, 250,000 motorcycles entered Guangxi from Guangdong via Wuzhou East Exit. There was an inflection point in 20 14, and the number of "motorcycle army" decreased by 35 thousand compared with the previous year. Since then, it has been greatly reduced year by year, and after 20 17 years, it has dropped to less than 75,000 vehicles per year.

Since 20 14, Guiguang and Nanguang high-speed railways have been opened one after another, and most parts of Guangxi and the Pearl River Delta region have achieved direct high-speed rail. In the past nine years, the Guangdong-Guangzhou high-speed railway has been a "public transport", and the "motorcycle army" has gradually disappeared on this 32 1 national road.

In order to better help migrant workers return home for the New Year, this year, China Railway Nanning Bureau Group Co., Ltd. and various departments jointly plan to open eight "warm return home" love trains to pick up more than 5,000 migrant workers from Guangxi for the New Year.

On the D36 14, the first special train in Guangxi this year, which started on June 5438+1October 2/KLOC-0, nearly 600 migrant workers from Guangxi returned safely from Guangzhou South Station to Nanning East Station.

Wei Jiaxin, from tengxian, Guangxi, was once a member of the "Motorcycle Army". It used to take eight or nine hours to ride a motorcycle from Guangdong to my hometown of tengxian. It was stormy and bumpy all the way. This year, the family went back to their hometown by free train, and it took only two hours to return to their hometown. "The way home has become time-saving and labor-saving, and it is much more reassuring." Wei Jiaxin said with a smile.

It is understood that since 20 16, the Guangxi Railway Department has customized 54 "Warm Home Road" love trains for six consecutive years, transporting more than 30,000 migrant workers.

Thick annual window grilles, festive Spring Festival couplets, and "iron-flavored" gift packages ... are full of warmth on the special train home. Looking at the green hills and beautiful waters flying over the window, the fields and villages, home is just ahead.

The direction of home is the direction of the heart and the direction of happiness. It is "the greatest thing in the country" to let people live a happy life. With the prosperity of the country and the development of transportation, the road to go home during the Spring Festival has become safer and smoother.

The figure of "motorcycle army" is gradually fixed in the memory of Spring Festival travel rush craze, and the colorful picture of happy China is becoming clearer and clearer.
