A family photo that travels

Photo taken on Jan. 14, 2014 shows Zhao Hu (left) and Shi Zhen (right) carrying a family photo at the railway station of Taiyuan, capital of north China's Shanxi province.

The migrant couple from southwest China's Sichuan province had been working on a railway project in Shanxi for six years. The family photo was taken in 2013 when Zhao and Shi's children, who worked in east China's Zhejiang province, came to Shanxi to celebrate Shi's birthday. It was the first time in two years that the family had got a chance to get together.

The railway project having been completed by the end of 2013, the couple is to reunite with their children at their hometown this spring festival. They have arranged their trip early to avoid the travel rush.

Zhao says he and Shi will not return to Shanxi after the festival and will try to find job in south China's Guangdong province. Wherever they go, Zhao said, they'll always take the photo with them. (Photo/Chinanews.com)
