Does the "Motorcycle Army" still exist?

Hello friends, as long as the transportation is developed, and secondly, the weather is relatively cold this year, with the fast, safe and convenient high-speed trains returning home during the Spring Festival, the riders of the "motorcycle army" no longer have to worry about it. Back home, I faced wind and snow and traveled a long distance. This should be one of the important reasons why the "motorcycle army" is disappearing day by day. Economic development has led to the improvement of personal economic conditions, which has also become another reason why the "motorcycle army" is disappearing day by day.

On January 11, 2014, Wei Shouyi, who had been working in Foshan, Guangdong for more than 20 years, drove the car he just purchased and drove more than 600 kilometers on the highway for more than 7 hours before returning to Guangxi. Reunion with family members at home in Renliang Village, Dahua Town, Dahua Yao Autonomous County.

More than ten years ago, Wei Shouyi was also a member of the "motorcycle army" and experienced the hardships of cycling journeys.

With years of hard work in Guangdong, Wei Shouyi gradually grew into the backbone of the factory, and his income continued to increase. Now, he has purchased two cars, built a building for his family, and also purchased a house in the county.

The village has also realized the construction of highways, expressways and first-class highways leading to the doorsteps. Whether returning home during the Spring Festival or visiting relatives and friends, it is much more convenient and faster.

The emergence and disappearance of a social phenomenon must have its deep-seated social reasons, and the same is true for the rise and disappearance of the "motorcycle army". Behind the gradual withdrawal of the "motorcycle army" from the historical stage, in addition to the convenient and safe special trains returning home during the Spring Festival and the improvement of personal economic conditions, there is another major and powerful factor at play:

Poverty alleviation and rural revitalization. The victory in the fight against poverty and the development of rural revitalization have not only improved the rural road network, but also given many people the opportunities and conditions to start businesses, find jobs at home, and get rid of poverty and become rich.

In 2017, after withdrawing from the "motorcycle army" traffic, farmer Qin Hongfei of Teng County, Guangxi planted 50 acres of anise with the help and support of the local government. With hard-working hands, Qin Hongfei's family's life is getting better and better. The motorcycle he used to ride back home has become his special tool for transporting anise.

On the way back home after the Spring Festival travel rush,

the former "motorcycle army" is gradually withdrawing from the stage. The way migrant workers go home has changed, their means of transportation have changed, and their way of making a living has also changed. ,

However, the entire society’s original intention and persistence in providing services for returnees has not changed, and everyone’s yearning, pursuit and confidence in a better life have also not changed.
