[Explanation] As the Spring Festival approaches, more and more people return to their hometowns in Guangxi from Guangdong to celebrate the New Year. Many people choose to return home by motorcycle for hundreds of kilometers.

There are fewer and fewer knights with their families, and more and more people are riding fun motorcycles and carrying backpacks.

　　[Commentary] Wei Jiaqiang, a returning knight from Guiping City, Guigang City, Guangxi, and two friends set off in Shunde District, Foshan City, Guangdong Province at 9 o'clock.

At about 14 o'clock, the reporter met him at a Spring Festival Love Service Station at the east exit of Wuzhou City, Guangxi, National Highway 321.

　　I was working in Shunde, Guangdong, and now I am returning to Guiping, Guangxi for the New Year. I drove a motorcycle home from Guangdong to celebrate the New Year. This year is the fifth year.

If the motorcycle goes home for the New Year, (the advantage) is that it is flexible and small, and there is no rush (along the way), and you can drive home slowly, and play while driving. I have changed 3 cars since riding a motorcycle. If you ride a bike for too long, you will get tired of it. At the beginning, it cost 10,000 yuan (one set), and now it costs 25,000 yuan.

(Reporter: You drive a motorcycle home, what do your peers in the village say).

They say "silly boy" came.

(Reporter: You can actually go home without driving a motorcycle).

No, I must drive a motorcycle, I must drive it, why, because of interest.

　　[Explanation] At the service station, the reporter also met Huang Xuan, a rider who returned home by bicycle from Jiangmen City, Guangdong.

He returned home many times by motorcycle, and immersed himself in the fun of motorcycle driving, eager to make more money and buy a car with more displacement and power.

　　I remember that I was very happy to ride (home) for the first time. I rode all the way back and experienced the fun of motorcycles. Later, I couldn’t quit. I bought two or three motorcycles, and I always wanted to upgrade the one with large displacement (motorcycles) ).

I am very envious of other people's 1000cc (motorcycles), and I don't have the money to buy them yet, so I really want to own them, let's upgrade step by step.

　　[Explanation] In order to ensure the safety of riders on the road, the local area set up a Spring Festival Love Service Station at the east exit of Wuzhou City, Guangxi, National Highway 321.

At the service station, Li Jinlan, an employee of Sinopec Guangxi Petroleum Wuzhou Branch, provided female passengers with scarves to keep warm, and also provided children's gloves and rice cakes for people to take home.

She has served here for 19 years for returning home motorcycles and won the title of "National Model Worker".

In order to further facilitate the return of people to their hometowns, the service station opened a driver's station to provide accommodation for passing drivers.

　　We have prepared two rooms, with a total of 8 beds. There are washing machines and air conditioners in them, and there are all kinds of (living facilities). If the driver wants to eat or cook noodles, he can use the restaurant on the first floor (use the kitchen), (these services ) is free, everything is free, including eating noodles and cooking rice, and the vegetables grown by the webmaster are all free.

　　[Explanation] The development of the economy has made motor vehicles and self-driving travel methods commonplace. There are fewer and fewer knights riding motorcycles to carry their families and pull a few boxes of luggage.

The composition of the knights has also changed from the forced "motorcycle army" to the "wind and freedom" happy team. The number of riders has changed from 250,000 at the peak to about 10,000 today.

　　In the past few years, I have found that the number of motorcycles (returning home during the Spring Festival) has been decreasing. After the opening of the high-speed rail, it is convenient for them to go home, and they also bought small cars themselves, so that they can go home as a family. There is no need to use this method (motorcycles). We expect that during the Spring Festival this year, the number of them going back and forth will be about 10,000.
