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

File photo taken during the Spring Festival travel rush in 1994 shows volunteers pouring hot water for passengers at Xi'an Railway Station in Xi'an, northwest China's Shaanxi Province. 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.
