Chinese Spring Festival: Journey Home (English Edition) – The Story of the World‘s Largest Annual Human Migration

Why Hundreds of Millions of Chinese People Travel Across the Country Every Year Just to Sit at a Family Dinner Table — A Cultural Explanation of Chunyun, Reunion and the Meaning of Home
This book is not a guide to Spring Festival customs, and it is not a travel handbook for navigating the holiday rush. It is about one question: why do hundreds of millions of Chinese people endure packed trains, long delays and sleepless nights every year, just to spend a few days at home? The answer takes you through the idea of chunyun—the spring migration—and what it reveals about family, duty, and the pull of a place you are expected to return to. If you want to understand why “going home for the New Year” is more than a tradition in China—rather than read a list of holiday foods or a practical travel guide—this is it.
