How to treat the "motorcycle army" in the Spring Festival travel rush craze?

I thought that after China optimized its epidemic prevention and control policy this year, more motorcycles would return home. Now it seems that the "motorcycle army" will fade out of Spring Festival travel rush history. Zou Dan, instructor of expressway Management Third Brigade of Traffic Police Detachment of Wuzhou Public Security Bureau, said in an interview with Zhongxin. com. com。

Zou Dan participated in the service guarantee of "Motorbike Army" in Spring Festival travel rush 10 for many years. For more than ten years, she, Li Ziyu and Li Jinlan have been going to the Spring Festival travel rush service station at the east exit of Wuzhou City, Guangxi every year to serve the "motorcycle army" who returned home in the past.

In 2008, Li Ziyu, then deputy detachment leader of Wuzhou Traffic Police Detachment, was responsible for coordinating and organizing the establishment of Spring Festival travel rush Rushing Service Station at the provincial level of 32 1 National Highway.

A young motorcyclist came home and stopped at Wuzhou East Spring Festival travel rush Service Station to take photos as a souvenir.

Li Ziyu said that migrant workers in Guangdong started to return home by motorcycle around 2000. At that time, a motorcycle of several thousand yuan entered ordinary families in China. Because train tickets are not easy to buy, migrant workers have to go home by motorcycle. In 2008, the "motorcycle army" began to take shape. That year, 70,000 motorcycles passed through Wuzhou and went home for the New Year.

"On the 32 1 national highway, a special cultural phenomenon related to the return of motorcycles has been formed. Some traffic police provide replacement services, some enterprises set up recruitment points, some cultural departments write Spring Festival couplets to riders on the spot, and even touching stories of service stations. " Li Ziyu said.

Zou Dan is serving the returning motorcyclists.

"In the process of serving the motorcycle army, I met something that touched me a lot." Zou Dan said. 2065438+200465438+1October 2 1, Qin and her husband who live in dali town, tengxian, Guangxi are pregnant. They rode their motorcycles home and were knocked down by a van when they passed the service station in Spring Festival travel rush, Dongkou, Wuzhou. Thanks to the timely rescue of Zou Dan and others, Qin saved the fetus. Five years later, in her husband's car, she made a special trip to visit Zou Dan at Spring Festival travel rush service station in the east exit of Wuzhou.

Like Zou Dan, Li Jinlan, an employee of China Petrochemical Guangxi Petroleum Wuzhou Branch, has many feelings. She has returned to motorcycles here for 20 years and served more than 50,000 "motorcycle armies".

Zou Dan and Li Jinlan took their children to Spring Festival travel rush Service Station at the east exit of Wuzhou as volunteers. "In the past, many children returned to their hometowns as' motorcyclists', but they have not been seen in recent years." Li Jinlan said.

Li Jinlan was interviewed by a reporter from Zhongxin. com. com。

Zhang Shuyong, who lives in Guangming Village, Shepo Town, Guiping City, Guangxi, used to ride a motorcycle to take her children home. "This year, both children went home by relatives' cars." Zhang Shuyong said. He and his wife Xue Huanfang have been riding motorcycles from Xiaolan Town, Zhongshan City for 8 consecutive years. On June 65438+1October 65438+June this year, he parked his motorcycle at Spring Festival travel rush Emergency Service Station at Wuzhou East Exit.

Like Zhang Shuyong, Li Rufa, who lives in Suju Village, Guancheng Town, Pingnan County, Guigang City, Guangxi Province, is also a member of the motorcycle army. "Before the Spring Festival, many fellow villagers met to drive motorcycles home from Xiaolan Town, Zhongshan City, Guangdong Province. Now I have bought a car. " Li Rufa told reporters that his two children are graduating from college soon. "After two or three years of hard work, I will also buy a car." Li Rufa said.

Li Ziyu said that fewer and fewer riders like Zhang Shuyong choose to drive their motorcycles home. Most of them are young riders, and they take driving a motorcycle home as a pleasure. Li from Guigang is such a young man. In order to enjoy "wind and freedom", he drives a motorcycle with large displacement.

Li worked in Foshan City, Guangdong Province 10 years, and his father was once a member of the "motorcycle army". After years of hard work in Dongguan, I finally bought a car on 202 1. Li said, "Although I have a car at home, I don't want to drive. I am very free to ride a motorcycle and can play all the way. "

Zou Dan said that the increasing number of motor vehicles diverted the "motorcycle army". Nanguang and Guiguang high-speed railways were opened at the end of 20 14. In 20 15, there were only 4 1 pairs of bullet trains between Spring Festival travel rush and Guangdong, and there were more than 200 pairs in 2023. In the gradual increase of railway transportation capacity, the "motorcycle army" has also decreased year by year. During the Spring Festival, the peak of the "motorcycle army" crossing Wuzhou to return home for the holiday reached 250,000. It is estimated that there will be 10000 motorcycles passing through Wuzhou during the Spring Festival this year.

12 years ago, the reporter witnessed the "grand occasion" of the "motorcycle army" returning home in Spring Festival travel rush, the east exit of Wuzhou. Today, Li Jinlan and Li Ziyu, who served in the "Motorbike Army", have also retired. The "motorcycle army" will also fade out of public view. Zou Dan said: "In the past two years, the traffic police department of Wuzhou City has no longer regarded the' motorcycle army' as the key service target for Spring Festival travel rush's return home, and the focus of traffic police has gradually shifted to the intersections around high-speed railway station and expressway toll stations."
