Transporting joy

Thanks to the founder of NGO Shunfengche, 20,000 people were reunited with their family this Spring Festival - without any transportation costs. The beneficiaries share their joy and experiences with Sun Yuanqing.

Wang Jing had not spent the Spring Festival with her mother Deng Yingxiu, who works in a Beijing restaurant as a cook - for eight years. The long working hours at the restaurant during this time of year makes it impossible for Deng to take leave. "And it's so difficult for me to take time off to go to the railway station to line up for a ticket. And I do not know how to book it online," Deng says.

This year, however, Wang finally managed to see her mother for the holiday. With the help of Beijing-based NGO Shunfengche, she flew from the southwestern province of Guizhou to Beijing three days before the festival to celebrate the occasion with her mother.
