On February 8, attendants carefully decorated the carriages of the G370 train before its departure.

2月8日，G370次列车始发前，乘务员们便早早布置起了车厢。

"It is our tradition to  dress up the carriages carefully during the annual Spring Festival. With fewer passengers, the 2021 Spring Festival looks even more special. We want to make our passengers feel the flavor of the Chinese New Year on their journey home." Train conductor Ge Xintong told the reporter.

“每年春节我们都会把车厢精心装扮一番，这是我们一直保持的传统。今年春节旅客少了，年味儿更显特别，我们要让旅客在归途中感受到来自高铁的新年祝福，早日恢复正常的生活。”列车长葛欣曈说道。

When the passengers boarded the train, they could not help but notice the spacious and tidy carriages festooned with fancy paper-cuts, red lanterns and ox ornaments.

登上列车的旅客眼前不禁一亮，宽敞整洁的车厢里布置得十分喜庆，装饰着别致的窗花、大红灯笼和生肖牛挂饰。

Ms. Wei, a passenger, said happily, "The carriage is so beautiful with strong festive atmosphere! I used to be so busy with my work that I rarely had a chance to feel the flavor of the Chinese New Year while traveling, but today I am overwhelmed by what I see as soon as I enter the carriage. I'd like to give the attendants a thumbs-up for their careful and caring arrangement!"

旅客魏女士开心地说：“车厢好漂亮，太有年味儿了！平时忙于工作，很少能有机会在旅途中感受到新年气氛，而今天，一进入车厢就被看到的一切所感染，乘务人员很细心、很有爱，为他们点赞！”年味儿十足的乘车环境，引得大家纷纷拿出手机拍照。

To spread Chinese culture, a special activity was also held on the train. Those who answer the riddles about the Spring Festival correctly could receive a lucky bag with a pair of couplets in it.

为了传播民族文化，班组还在列车上举行了春运“送万福·进万家”活动，由乘务员现场为旅客出一些关于春节民俗知识的谜语，答对的旅客可以得到装有对联的福袋。

On the high-speed train, everyone is looking forward to a better New Year.

飞驰的列车上，欢笑声此起彼伏，浓浓的年味儿让每个人都憧憬着更美好的新年。
