Passengers who only hold a standing ticket take a rest in the corridor connection aboard the K814 train from Zhaoqing, Guangdong Province, to Chongqing Municipality, on Jan. 17, 2013. Construction worker Pu Dagang (above) and a fellow villager are scrunched into a corner of the K814 train from Zhaoqing, Guangdong Province, to Chongqing Municipality, on Jan. 17, 2013. He boarded the train at Guangzhou Station, and reached Chongqing after more than 30 hours. Upon arrival there, Pu has to transfer to another train headed to Dazhou, Sichuan Province, which takes up to two hours, before finally changing onto a bus and spending some five hours more on there before reaching home, a village in Pingchang County, Bazhong, Sichuan Province. He is content for being able to go home even though his standing ticket only allowed for him to find a small corner to get some rest. [Photo/Xinhua]
