After that, companies provided firecrackers for employees to light and enjoy.

In Hubei province, the Xianning government helped local people working outside the city to buy return tickets. They also prepared gifts for them such as a medical card.

Rusn Gang, Returning Worker, said, It's great being home. The government helped us to book a return ticket. I feel very grateful.

What's more, the local government also prepared a dinner and party for them. In Henan province, county governments held job fairs for return workers, as well as free training.

Sang Jinke, Official of Henan Province, said, Such training provides returning workers more chances in their career. I want to let them know they can do something in their hometown as well.

In Jiangxi's Shangyao city, the local government provided 300 thousand jobs for returning workers. This was to help them spend a happy New Year.
