In a related story, sixty percent of the migrant workers in the southern province of Guangdong have chosen to stay there during the Spring Festival rather than return home due to concern over heavy snow.
Statistics from the provincial labor and security department show that more than 11million migrant workers have shown their willingness to stay.
Meanwhile, to cope with the crowded condition around the Guangzhou Railway Station, the municipal government has set up over 10 makeshift shelters scattered in the city. Other measures have also been taken.
