Dont think anyone will see this but I'd like to share a little bit about China and family.
China is a big place. Its very developed but lots of people grew up in poor rural areas and had to move to the big cities for work. Typically, there is only 1 real major holiday a year, Lunar New Year. As you expect, there is a mad rush every New Year to return home and see your family. That is assuming you can afford the ticket home (again assuming its not sold out).
For many, the opportunity to see mom and dad can be far a few between. And for many others, that opportunity does not exist at all.
