The Spring Festival of the Year of the Horse is approaching, and various regions are experiencing a peak in the flow of people returning home for the Lunar New Year. During the peak travel season before the holiday, there are both busy traffic arteries and warm rural routes flowing. This year's Spring Festival travel rush, with the opening and operation of a number of county-level high-speed rail new lines and the upgrading of public welfare slow trains, a new pattern of rural Spring Festival travel rush with "high-speed rail delivering fast and slow trains conveying warmth" is accelerating. Transportation departments in various regions closely follow the travel expectations of rural residents, weave a tight and secure transportation guarantee network for the Spring Festival travel rush in rural areas, and use county-level high-speed railways to speed up and run smoothly, as well as public welfare slow trains to provide warm support. They accurately solve the problem of rural residents returning home, making the reunion road for rural residents smoother and warmer, and highlighting the strong warmth of people's livelihood during the Spring Festival travel rush. New wings have been added to the county-level high-speed railway, allowing for smooth access to the mountain and township reunion roads. This year's Spring Festival travel rush, multiple high-speed railway lines related to counties, such as the Hexi section of the Hexin High Speed Railway and the Baoyin High Speed Railway, have been put into operation for the first time to ensure the Spring Festival travel rush. This has ended the history of many places in Anhui, such as Sixian and Wuhe, not being connected to high-speed railways, and has enabled people in the counties along the route to realize their dream of taking high-speed trains at their doorstep. The HeSi section of the HeXin high-speed railway is 198 kilometers long and has safely transported over 150000 passengers in just one month of operation. During the Spring Festival travel rush, the daily number of high-speed trains has increased from 5 to 8, significantly improving transportation capacity. In Wuhe, Anhui, this high-speed railway has shortened the travel time for local residents to return home during the Spring Festival travel rush by nearly 60%, and has also helped Wuhe Economic Development Zone to accurately connect with the Yangtze River Delta industrial transfer project. The passenger flow dividend brought by the high-speed railway has also continued to heat up cultural and tourism activities such as "High speed Rail Tour of Wuhe". After the opening of the Baotou Yinchuan high-speed railway in the revolutionary base area of Yan'an, passengers can take the high-speed railway directly from Yan'an to 13 provincial capitals and municipalities including Beijing and Shanghai. The fastest travel time from Yan'an to Beijing has been reduced to 5 hours and 42 minutes, which is 4 hours and 37 minutes shorter than before. During the Spring Festival travel rush, the sound of drums and red silk dancing in Yan'an Station, as well as characteristic folk performances such as Ansai waist drum and Shaanbei storytelling, take turns to perform, allowing returning passengers to immerse themselves in the rich flavor of the New Year and the warmth of their hometown as soon as they arrive at the station. The public welfare slow train adheres to its original intention and is filled with the smoke and fire of the mountains and towns. Unlike the rapid speed of county-level high-speed trains, the public welfare slow train that travels through the mountains and valleys guards the "warm return journey" with "slow speed" and becomes a warm carrier for the reunion of mountainous people on the road. The 4245 green skinned slow train travels through the mountains in the southeast of Jilin Province, with only four carriages. It departs from Tonghua Station and heads towards Changbai Mountain Station every day, covering a total distance of 285 kilometers, running for 6 hours and 3 minutes, with an average speed of less than 50 kilometers per hour. For the people along the line, this train is the only public transportation for rushing to markets, seeking medical treatment, visiting relatives and friends, and selling mountain goods. During the Spring Festival travel rush, the train completed a heartwarming upgrade, with windows covered in lucky window decorations and red lanterns hanging in the carriages, exuding a strong sense of Chinese New Year; On weekends, a "train cinema" is set up to play popular films, and regular "train fairs" are held to build a sales platform for local specialties for farmers and help promote rural revitalization. The lively scene of neighbors chatting and busy mountain goods trading inside the carriage fills the journey with warmth and affection. In the new era of high-speed trains speeding and increasing speed, this slow train, although slow, is precious. This' slow pace 'carries the close connection between the mountains and the mountains, and embodies the hope of the people in the mountainous areas. It has long become an indispensable' livelihood train 'for the people along the route. Accurate service warms people's hearts and solves the difficulty of rural travel. Focusing on the actual travel needs of rural residents, transportation departments in various regions have optimized the rural Spring Festival travel rush service measures, opened convenient service windows at county-level high-speed railway stations, arranged volunteers to guide on-site, and assisted the masses in purchasing tickets and entering the station; On the public welfare slow train, train attendants actively assist elderly passengers and children, assist in arranging luggage, explain boarding instructions, and provide convenience for mountainous residents to travel. At the same time, optimize the traffic conditions of rural roads, conduct comprehensive inspections and rectification of rural roads, timely repair damaged sections, add warning signs, and ensure the safety of rural residents' self driving and transportation. Various regions also rely on rural passenger transport stations to carry out "Spring Festival travel convenience services" activities, providing hot water, consultation and guidance, luggage handling and other services for returning residents, allowing mountain and rural residents to feel the warmth of the Spring Festival travel rush. From the lightning fast and unobstructed operation of county-level high-speed railways to the warm and steadfast commitment of public welfare slow trains accompanied by fireworks, the transportation department empowers with "fast" and warms the heart with "slow", weaving a dense rural Spring Festival transportation network through the synergy of fast and slow. These transportation routes that shuttle deep into the mountains not only connect the key nodes for mountainous residents to return home, but also enable every rural resident to safely and smoothly embark on the road of reunion, making the Spring Festival travel journey full of warmth, happiness, and hope.
