A high-speed train with deliverymen enjoying free ride to home left Shanghai's Hongqiao Railway Station on Jan 16, as the city's hundreds of thousands of couriers began going back to their hometowns for the upcoming Chinese New Year.

The train, bound for Bozhou city in Anhui province, carried some 400 couriers and their family members, whose hometowns are along the route to East China's Jiangsu and then Anhui province.
