Spring Festival is the most important day in the year for Chinese people. On this day, Chinese people, no matter how far away from their home, would go home for a family reunion. But the holiday has its down side. The all-important day leads to hard competition for a train ticket. To buy a ticket, Chinese people would try every possible means.

Now, let's have a look at one of the interesting, or touching stories around China happening during the competition for a ticket for the Spring Festival travel season.

In Shenzhen, a woman felt the love of her parents when she had trouble getting a train ticket in the Spring Festival holiday.

Zhao works in a logistics company in Shenzhen. To help the 26-year-old land a train ticket that will take her home, her parents who had zero experience in online shopping learnt how to catch a ticket on the Internet in one day. They waited before the computer screen every morning since Dec 17 for the start of the sales. After three days, their hard work paid off when the father finally bought a high-speed railway ticket from Shenzhen to Wuhan.
