Migrant Workers on a Long Vacation

From Economic Observer Online:

Ren Jianzhu, a village head in Sichuan‘s Dazhou region, has been keeping count of the number of home-comers of late.

Seven more villagers have returned on December 10 alone, purportedly on a “long vacation”, adding the number of returnees to 137 thus far.

Over the past months, nearly half of the village’s 317 people who used to work in the cities and other provinces have come home.
