In pics: memorable moments at train platforms during Spring Festival travel rush

File photo taken during the Spring Festival travel rush in 1983 shows railway staff members carrying luggage for passengers with carts at Shanghai Railway Station in Shanghai, east China. Platforms, witnessing memorable moments of joy and sadness, are the epitome of each year's Spring Festival travel rush, during which hundreds of millions of Chinese go back to their hometowns for family gatherings.
