Snowstorms are ruthless, people are affectionate, and we walk together in the snow.

    On the afternoon of January 25th, Wen Jiabao inspected the road transportation and emergency preparedness, visited the frontline traffic cadres and workers and shook hands with them.



    The Spring Festival is coming, and Spring Festival travel rush is at its peak. Not long ago, a large-scale rain and snow weather brought certain difficulties to Spring Festival travel rush. Can the people’s new year’s goods be guaranteed? Is it good to buy a ticket home? Is the journey safe and smooth? Premier Wen Jiabao is very concerned about this. On the afternoon of January 25th, Premier Wen visited Zhuozhou Service Area of Beijing-Shijiazhuang Expressway and Beijing West Railway Station, and made arrangements for doing a good job in Spring Festival travel rush and ensuring safety and smoothness. < < < < detailed

    This is the biggest disaster since the founding of New China in 1949, and it is also a great test. The government must act decisively. We suggest that the government start the following scheme as soon as possible:


    First, we suggest that the government stop Spring Festival travel rush and postpone this year’s Spring Festival holiday to the Lantern Festival to stagger the snowstorm. At the same time, the stranded population will be evacuated to other places by using accessible short-distance transportation. Avoid further "man-made disasters" caused by a large number of people stranded in one place. < < < < detailed



Why is it okay to snow in the north but not in the south?








On January 27th, a passenger braved the heavy snow and waited at Hefei Railway Station.


    I really don’t understand: there is heavy snow in the north of China every year, and I have never seen a large number of trains late, a large shortage of power supply and extremely tight resources; However, it snowed in the south for a few days this year, and as a result, power was cut off everywhere, grain and oil were tight, and traffic was stagnant. Why does it snow heavily every year in the north, and nothing happens, while it snows in the south? < < < < detailed

    Most parts of China suffered from the once-in-50-year severe rain and snow weather. Many trunk lines such as Beijing-Guangzhou were cut off, and trains could not run, resulting in a large number of delays on the Beijing-Guangzhou line, and the north-south artery was once paralyzed. At Guangzhou Railway Station, the transportation hub at the southern end of the Beijing-Guangzhou line, more than 150,000 passengers were stranded on the 27th, and hundreds of thousands of people were frozen along the rain and snow returning home. The paralysis crisis in Spring Festival travel rush, of course, was caused by bad weather, but it also exposed the problems of the rapid development of China’s economy and society, such as the lag of transportation and other infrastructure, and the fragile ability to cope with the crisis.
