What's the buzz
Only receiving a small amount of money for their year-end bonus tops people's concerns ahead of this year's Spring Festival holiday, according to an online survey. Other concerns are the travel rush, being urged to get married, the need to give gifts, and talking about age. What are you most troubled by in the run-up to this coming Spring Festival? China Daily's mobile phone news readers share their views:
What I can hardly bear to see before and during the Spring Festival is the overwhelming crowd of train passengers during this travel peak. What is pathetic is that such once-in-a-year migration is not part of human nature, but a demonstration of the unbalanced development of China's economy. Behind such a superficial phenomenon lie social problems, such as left-behind children, elderly and women. It should prompt us to think to what extent the future prosperity of big cities is achieved at the expense of the welfare of migrant workers and the families they leave behind.
