6) Sometimes, waiting in a ticket line is longer than the actual train ride home
A reporter went out to photograph the temporary ticketing kiosks set up at the Hangzhou Railway Station on January 9, 2012 when he came across Li Zhuqing, a man desperately trying to get back to his hometown in Hunan Province. Li told the reporter: "I've already been in line for five days and nights straight, and I still haven't been able to get a ticket. Can you help me?" According to his story, Li's 80-year-old mother had called him up a few days ago and asked when he was coming home. After he explained to her that he'd been waiting in line for several days with no luck so far and that he might not make it home, she starting sobbing uncontrollably on the phone. This photo, taken on January 10, 2012, shows Li sleeping while standing in a ticket line.
