From standing in long queues at the ticketing hall, holding 5 student ID cards to buy tickets, to staying in the dormitory in front of the computer, refreshing the official 12306 website ； Whenever ticket-hogging season arrives, these scenes always come to mind. This year, the deadline for purchasing tickets has been changed from 60 days in advance to 30 days, making them the hardest-to-get tickets in history. I planned ahead to secure tickets for January 23rd, 24th, and 25th. Since December 25th fell on a weekend, I opened the ZhiXing app as well as the 12306 website at 1 p.m., logged in, and waited for the critical time of 4:30 p.m. Since it was still too early, I decided to rest and catch some sleep; when I woke up, it was already dark outside. . . I planned to start, but didn’t anticipate the ending. . .
I don’t even want to talk about that ticket-hunting experience. Even when you buy a last-minute ticket, it’s still crowded to the point of being unbearable; I’m so tired
Alarm, alarm… it’s useless when you need it most. . . . .
(⊙o⊙)… This is so difficult. The weather is okay when it’s good, but when the weather is bad, there are days upon days with over 1000 hours of work, and only a few days off in total. . . .
I still remember before 2011; back then, tickets were bought at the school’s ticket office. The night before, I went to an internet cafe to stay there all night; I went to queue up at 5 a.m., in the bitter cold, hungry and tired. Finally, after much waiting, I managed to get in line. Fortunately, there were only standing tickets available. Should I take them or not? L. It’s great that the internet has developed so much these days – no need anymore to stand in the cold waiting to buy tickets.
