视频字幕Chinese New Year(1)The Living PastI. ScriptWelcome to ChinaWe are here at the snow ice festival in the northern city of Harbin,where many families come toStart their celebrations of Chinese New Y ear.This time of year sees the largest annual mass migration on the planet when a six of the world‟s population travels home to celebrate with their families.That is around a billion people making 3.5 billion journeys in a 40 day period.Join us overThe next three nights as we find out what it is like to be at the world‟s biggest party.Y es,get your party props ready.Here is what is coming up.Three,two,one,go! Over the next three nights we will be based here in icy Harbin and wa y down south in tropical Hong Kong,exploring how the Chinese experience the most important festival in their calendar.It is like watching a magic trick.We‟ll uncover this extraordinary annual event and experience the richness of Chinese culture.From how fa milies prepare for festivities to be celebrations on the day itself.Across the series I‟ll be focusing on New Y ear technology and traditions,”Happy New Y ear,Ganbei.”I‟ll discover the amazing way that rural China used to celebrate New Y ear.And tonight, t he Hairy Bikers will be helping out to the world‟s largest motorbike migration.“Let‟s see if we can cut it,e here, try it.Happy New Year!”And I will be journeying to the most remote corner of south-west China to down a living,breathing symbol of New Y ear 2016.“Oh, I like it, this.”The year of the monkey.“Chinese New Y ear is also known as the spring festival,or chunjie, is the right pronunciation?”“It lasts 15 days and it‟s the important holiday in the Chinese calendar.”“The start of the fes tival falls on a different day in either January or February, dictated by the lunar calendar. New Y ear‟s Day 2016 falling on February the 8th.”“In the run-up to it, the whole country is on the move seeing the sights and traveling home to be with their fa milies.”“China is truly vast. Y ou can fly for six and a half hours and still be in the same country.”Harbin is in the north-eastern corner of this huge country that is home to 1.3 billion people. As well as having some of the fastest-growing modern cities, the landscapes are truly diverse. They range from vast deserts too expensive grasslands, tropical jungles and the highest mountain range in the world. China written history dates back over 3,000 years and through the reigns of over 500 emperors. It‟s e conomy is the largest on earth and it makes and exports more goods than anywhere else on the globe.Chinese food is as rich and varied as any on earth with thousands of dishes to choose from, all cooked in a varied of ways using a host of ingredients grown right across the vast nation. And it is changing astonishingly fast. By 2030, it is estimated that 1 billion people will be living in Chinese cities, just like here in Beijing.Many of these new people flocking to the cities were migrant workers, in search of a better life for themselves and their families. And at Chinese New Y ear, the modern and the traditional are brought together, as the Chinese prepare for a celebration even older than the Great Wall itself. The great Wall of China snakes for over 5000 miles across northern and western China, and the oldest parts date back over 2500 years. This is Harbin‟s great ice wall, not quite as long, 450 meters, and not as enduring, either. When the thaw comes, this will be transformed into the great puddle of China. As the day goes on, this place will fill up with queues lasting more than three hours, but that is nothing compared to the pressure on the Chinese transport system when around a billion people want to travel home for new year and all at the same time. The Chinese have a phrase for it, Chunyun, which translates as spring migration. We went to Beijing to find out how they cope with the biggest movement of people on Earth. Beijing is one of the most densely populated cities on the planet. Around 21 million people live and work here but, at Chinese New Y ear, millions flood out of the city and head to their home towns across China.The total numbers of trips made by road in China in and around New Y ear is an eye-watering 3.2 billion and a lot are made in this very city in Beijing. Like cabbies all over the world, my taxi driver Ma Yingqi enjoys a good old moan about the traffic.“No w is the Spring Festival rush, so it takes a bit more time. Look at this car accident, they just don‟t move their cars! That would be good. Block two lanes!”Managing this flow of vehicles takes a huge amount of technology. This state-of-the-art monitoring hub is the responsibility of Gongsun Lin. The traffic is very, very busy, is busier than in Shanghai or Shenzhen because we have a really big road network. It is a big job moving all the persons to their hometown. The roads are monitored 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Seven days, every day we have to be here. And its cabs like the one I am in that provide the date needed to keep the traffic flowing. We have 6,000-7,000 taxis in Beijing and everyone of them equipped with GPS. Every 30 seconds, each taxi relates its position and speed back to the control room. This information helps to construct a over-all picture of the city‟s traffic flow in real time. The date can then be used to let drivers know where the hotspots are so they can try to avoid the jams.“ In a traffic jam, 6 or 7km takes one hours. That‟s considered good, 6km per hour. Y ou do the maths! We‟ve got no choice, but to get used to it. It happens all the time.””We are getting nowhere, nothing we can do!”For those who want to travel further afield for Chinese new year, there‟s another option. The fly. Across China, a staggering 54 million trips are by air during the festival. This is Beijing capital airport, and it is always busy but, during spring festival, this becomes the busiest airport in the world. As you can see, it feels like the whole country is on the move. During the New Y ear rush, almost 10 million people pass through this airport, mostly flying home to China. Li Tongyu lives in Surrey. She ispreparing to fly to Beijing with her family.“We haven‟t been spending Chinese New Year with my family back in China for about nine years now. Mary, my eldest daughter, was only three years old and little Harry wasn‟t even born yet. So I think it will be a greet opportunity for them to experience the whole thing. I have one older brother in Beijing along with my parents. And particularly at Chinese New Y ear‟s celebrating time, that is the time you miss them most. Especially when your parents are not well, like my father is struggling with Par kinson‟s, and it has been quite difficult. My father always misses me, especially at Chinese New Y ear, so this time i think we will makes him extremely happy. It‟s me and we did like with the long hair. In a traditional Chinese family, having a family port rait is very important, so this year I‟m going to give my father a surprise. We are going to have the children draw a portrait, and that will be a big surprise for them. It will be wonderful.”Meanwhile, over 250 million rail journeys are made across China during the festival. Last year, 5.6 million rail tickets were sold in a single day. One of the busiest station in the country is the Beijing West. In the fortnight leading up to New Year‟s Eve, over 3 million people will pass through these ticket barrier s, to get a train from here. That‟s over 200,000 people a day. For some, the days they take off now are the only holiday they get all year so they are prepared to travel a long way for a long time to get home.“Sir, where are you going today?””Jiangxi””How far is that form here?””Sixteen hours by train””He‟s got a 16 hours journey!”With so many people on the move, things can get complicated, especially when the weather intervenes. This year, Chinese television reported queues of up to 100,000 people at Guangdong train station when heavy snow caused delays. To keep everything running smoothly requires precision organization, compared to the bustle outsides, the railway bureau control center is an oasis of calm. This place is incredible. It is huge. I feel l ike I‟m in the control room of Apollo 13, And you can see that everyone is so focused and the concentration I feel, the buzz in the room, because I guess they have to be, they‟ve got ultimately responsible for every train that passes through. In charge of keeping the system moving is Y e Guangguan.“We are standing in the biggest rail control center in the whole of Asia. It controls all the passenger and freight trains coming in and out of Beijing.””The screens look really complicated, what is everyone looki ng at?””Different lines have different meanings, the blue color shows tracks, red shows the track is being used and white shows the section is open and safe for a train to proceed””Is it busier at New Y ear?””We have planned to add 2,800 extra trains to eas e the pressure of the Spring Festival travel.”The station also takes on an extra 1000 workers on the ground to help ease the load. There is one group which is easy to spot by the way they are always shifting suitcases. One familiar sight to anyone who uses Beijing rail is the Red Caps. Their job is to help people load their luggage onto the trains. At this time of year, with everyone bearing gifts they‟ve truly got their work cut out for them. Oh, that‟s so sad, it makes me cry. I‟ll let him get back, I think I‟m adding his work load. Back ar Beijing airport, the concourse is full of arriving passengers and waiting families. There is the mostamazing atmosphere down here, it‟s just full of anticipation and excitement, I‟m surrounded by people who are being reunited with their families. There are these lovely scene is happening all around me, tiny little dreams of people coming together. It‟s just lovely. The parents and brother of Li Tongyu who has traveled from Surrey are waiting for the flight to arrive. The children present their special surprise. This is certainly one family that‟s going to have a very very happy New Year.“It‟s astonishing, isn‟t it? The lengths people will go to to be with their families at this time of year. I don‟t think I‟d ever se en so many people in my life. What about Chinese families in the UK, for example, like your family, will you make a big effort to be together? We make an effort but nothing on that kind of scale because we are in the UK and three are no holidays. Of course, you don‟t get your 15 days off. No , we don‟t. I‟ve tried, had a word, they are not buying it. So what would you do? I go home, my parents cook, cook a shed load of food and I eat it.“Perfect!””Yeah.” “Well, like we said at the top of the show. This ex traordinary ice city is built from scratch every single year, and Ant has been finding out how it all began.”In Harbin, the winter temperatures drop as low as -30 degrees centigrade. But for the people who live here, this frozen world is just a way of life. Tucked away in the frozen North east of China, Harbin was originally a tiny rural settlement. Until the railways arrived. The Chinese Eastern railway connected eastern Siberia via Harbin to Russia. It transformed this city into the beating heart of commerce and industry in this region. And the Russian connection is everywhere. The people who built the railways and settled here were made of pretty strong stuff.“Looking around I am the only one kitted up for the cold. Even the kids here look hardier than me. The people here aren‟t just surviving, they‟ve embraced subzero temperatures. In fact, 5 million people are happy to call Harbin their home. By far in a way the most extreme example of this city‟s passion of the cold is the local tradition of ice swimming. Wait an average temperature of -30 degrees outside, this is a showcase for the strong physique and iron will of the Harbin locals.”“During the winter months these brave swimmers had to the river to take a plunge in this special pool cut of the ice, a truly local past time. The river water is a painful one degree Celsius. Without these motors to keep the water constantly moving, it would simply freeze over. It isn‟t the type of pool you want to take a relaxing dip in, just for a second if I take my glove off and put my whole hand in.. I can assure you it is absolutely freezing. Some of the regulars have been coming here over 20 years. ” “Mr.Y ou, why do you do this?””Winter swimming keeps me healthy ””Even if I was tempted to take the plunge, and i can assure you I‟m not, jumping into the water on a climate like this, I would run the risk of a heart attack.””What‟s going on? Bonkers. Incredibly, the average age here is 70.” “These people have retired, so they don‟t have to go to work. So they do a lot o f exercise during the day.””Ice swimming is more about resilience than, shall we say, graceful technique.””Winter swimming is a sport for the brave”But this icy river isn‟t just for extreme sports. All the building materials for the festival at Harbin are taken form this spot to create the city of ice. In just one week8,000 workers cut out the 180,000 cubic meters of ice needed. It‟s only when you get closer you realize just how thick this ice is. That‟s around 20 inches. This is a proper construction project on an industrial scale. For nearly 60 years this humble patch of earth on the outskirts of town has been transformed into a frozen fantasy land. 125,000 tonnes of ice is cut and shifted and painstakingly crafted. In just three weeks an entire city has emerged. Here it is in all its frosty glory. Every year there is a different theme reflecting on a period of Chinese history. And this year, it is Silk Road. The Silk Road was an ancient trade route linking China to the Mediterranean Sea. Dating for the second century BC, Chinese merchants used to use it to unite the East and West. Looking back to the past has long been a part of Chinese culture. This is a Chinese tower inspired by the Pavilion of a prince Teng. It‟s a classic Chinese design built to represent the country where the Silk Road began. Over here in the distance, the ice sphere Istanbul is a Byzantium masterpiece in ice. That‟s slightly off track, but over here in the distance, a nod to our Russia neighbors. The ice version of the cathedral fro m Moscow‟s Red Square by the Kremlin towers 34 meters high. Typically, for the people of Harbin, this best goes from extreme beauty to extreme adrenaline. Take a look down there, 320 meters. Y ou do it about ten meters a second which puts it into Olympic sprinter territory. Speaking of sprinters...“We‟re going to race, what did you think?””I think you are coming second, Compare that to a silver medal. I‟m now riding this.””Y ou are not even close.”Now this festival is all about celebration. But people here are up for as much fun as possible. And that‟s the spirit of Chinese New Y ear, days off here truly precious, days off here are truly precious with public official holidays being the only time most people get off away from work. And one family making the most the of it, the Hans. “Where are you from? They are form Nantong. How far is Nantong from here?””About 2,200 kilometers.””So you stay with family during the Spring Festival? How is it important to you?””It‟s our biggest festival of the year. Everyone com es back to be with each other. No matter how long is the journey is.. Even if it‟s from the other side of the earth, we rush back.””Have you ever Not spent Spring Festival with family?””Never. Form my earliest memory. I get together with family every singl e year.””They have never in their whole history not gone home for Chinese New Y ear, they always celebrated it together. Thank you so much for talking to us today, are you guys ready?”Inevitably, Ant has been busy and has organized a ice tug of war and I need to be ref. So is everybody ready? And Ant takes on the local. We will take you on one of the most spectacular journeys of this time of year. Every Chinese New Y ear a giant motorbike flotilla takes to the road as migrant workers head home to be with their families. We had the perfect duo to do along for the ride. Si and Dave, the Hairy Bikers. “Oh, come on, this team.”Every New Y ear in the headland of industrial China, thousands upon thousands of motorcyclists braved the weather and take to the road, determined to make it home to their families. These workers are employed in the largest urban area in the world, Guangdong Province in southern China where many of them live the entire year. The factories that lie on this huge river delta employ migrants who have often come fromvillages hundreds of miles away. The journey home is long, cold and exhausting. Around the city of Zhaoqing. Eght stations have been set up for the bikers to shake out there soaking ponchos and stop for food. We are Zhaoqing eighth station which one of several stops inland form Zhaoqing. It is a bit of a bottleneck here. More than 50,000 motorcycles will pass through on on their way home foe the festivities. I can‟t tell you, Kingy, how amazing it is to see so many bikers in one plac e, I‟m ticked pink with excitement. Y eah, Dave, bikers are an important form of transport in China, planes and trains can be too expensive for people so the humble bike is often the only way thousands of workers can get home. There is a whole team of volunteers helping here. On of them is Danny Qiao.“Danny, what exactly is happening? In every station we provide hot water, ginger porridge. Ginger porridge! Y eah. Perfect. Motorcycle repairmen. And of them are free. We ride motorcycles a lot, the amount of times we should have loved to be able to come in here for something to eat, something to drink, somebody to have a look at the bike. It‟s kind of the camaraderie going on as well, everybody going home for the big Chinese New Y ear Eve. I‟ll tell you what I think is a lovely , lovely touch, over there, these lovely heaters. For people to warm their feet cause it‟s pretty miserable in boots. Oh, yeah, yeah.”For and away the busiest part of the pit stop is the food tent. And the house specially everyday is gin ger porridge. But there are no Scottish oats here, instead it is rice. It‟s interesting, but it serves with a little bit of pork in it. Heavy ginger. How many of these do you go through with this bit pots of porridge? Eh, about ten.We wanted to find out the secrets of such a popular porridge, so we followed our noses to the back streets of Shashan and to a volunteer who is known simply as Auntie Porridge.“Y ou are Auntie Porridge, the person who provides all the porridge in the eighth station. We have h ad your porridge. It‟s good, it‟s so good! How do you make it?”“Here is the soaked rice. We soak it first, then chop the meat. Would you help me please?”“She wants you to chop those. I‟m in my element. Chopping up ginger, spring onion, radish and pork un der the gaze of some keen critics. I‟ve got to constantly stir now. I‟m here for three days.”“Stir harder... Really scrape the bottom of the pan. Y ou need to keep stirring - don‟t stop!”“The pork is coated in corn flour and popped into the pot. I‟ll tell you what it is like when you still wallpaper paste when it goes really thick. It‟s sort like that consistency. Sometimes your food tastes like that. Go away.”“These guys know what they‟re doing but they talk too much!”“Oh, it is like that, is it? Well, the proof is in the pudding or should we say, the porridge.”It‟s time to find out what our fellow bikers make of our ginger porridge and to try out our best Mandarin and Cantonese. Some of these people have been on the road since 3 o‟clock in the morning and this is the first thing they have had to eat. Well, itseems to be going down well with the connoisseurs. I think Auntie Porridge has taught us well. Do you know what I mean? It‟s going great, isn‟t it? Many of the migrant travelers and young parents returning home to see their children, often foe the first time in many months, like Liang Y ongxian and Li Bingling.“Y ongxian. Do you have a family at home?”“I have two children, a boy and a girl, the older one is 17 and the younger one is 15. I feel very excited. I want to be home quickly. ”“Y ongxian, what do you do when you get home?”“Back to home we have dinner. Since you are here, i invite you to be our guest and have a meal with us.”“That would be an absolute honor. Thank you.”We want to take up Y ongxian‟s kind offer, but there‟s is one big problem.“Would you believe it, Kingy? One of the greatest motorcycle happening in the world and we can‟t ride a motorcycle. That is because we don‟t have a Chinese motorcycle license and the laws are strictly enforced this time of the year because there are so many motorcycles on the road. Anyway i have a surprise foe you. A ride in the back of a Chinese police car. It is not your first time, is it? How dare you! Because of the huge numbers of bikes on the road during Chinese New Y ear, the local police provide an escort.”As the workers near their home towns and villages, the flotilla breaks up. Y ongxian and Bingling are now on the familiar roads near their home. After hours of traveling, they return to the warm welcome of their family. Like so many migrant workers, Y ongxian has sacrificed family life to bring them all a better standard of living. As the night falls, we join them around the dinner table for one of the oldest traditions on earth.“Everyone sit please. Let‟s eat!”The international icebreaker of hospitality, food and great company.“This is just our daily food... Please have some. Hotpot. May you be happy and prosperous...Happy New Y ear!”“Well, mate, that is what it‟s all about. Y eah, the feeling of joy around that table makes the journey worthwhile, and that it‟s happening all over China. Fantastic.”One the Hairy Bikers left the flotilla, they headed for Beijing and that is where we will be joining them tomorrow evening. So far, you‟ve just seen the Harbin just in daytime but when darkness falls, ot becomes even more magical. The sun is about to set any minute now and the temperature is about to drop another 10 degrees. It‟s about -20 now and we are expecting temperatures of -30 or even lower ton ight. I‟m going to put on some extra layers and I‟m gonna leave you to witness the spectacular transformation that happens when darkness falls.It‟s this that makes the Harbin ice festival famous the world over and brings in visitors from all over China. China is also becoming a popular destination for international tourists, especially from South Korea, Japan, the US and Russia. In fact, in 2014, it was the fourth most visited country in the world. This increase in tourism has meant that the festival designers have had to challenge themselves to become ever more inventive. This year, they‟re really gone to town with this magnificent fairy talecastle. But this is this year‟s star attraction. It is biggest ice sculpture that has ever been attempted here at Harbin. It‟s stands 46.6, very important, the 0.6, meters high, standing proud in the sky, and it‟s lit up by over 1 million lights. And as you see. It is the lights which really bring the festival to life. It looks very high-tech and modern but, actually, this is an ancient tradition going back centuries, as Ant has been discovering.The red lantern is the classic emblem of China. In ancient times, they were used to mark the entrances of houses, and they soon became a sign of joy and festivity. At Chinese New Y ear, lanterns represent the light of hope. Back in the 1960s, the people of Harbin couldn‟t afford traditional lanterns to celebrate New Year, so they froze water in buckets, but candles inside, and the ice festival was born. Using light as a symbol of celebration has continued through to the modern festival today. Almost every one of over 2000 buildings here has its own light display. The lighting design is almost as epic and endeavor as building the festival itself. The logistics involved in making this happen are staggering. The sheer scale of the operation means the festival needs 230,000 meters of electrical cables. That is 13.8 million individual lights. But creating such a vast electrical system demands meticulous attention to detail to withstand such extreme conditions. And this is how they do it. The lights are actually individual LEDs housed within a resilient silicon strip. These aren‟t your standard household LEDs. A team of engineers have specially designed ones to withstand the freezing temperatures. It is more expensive than a conventional light bulb, but it is more eco-friendly, plus can you imagine the bill to pay the electricity at this place? Each block of ice is hand chiseled to create a groove for the LED strip. The blocks are then lined up in a brick wall pattern. The great thing about LEDs is they emit less heat and what you don‟t want in an ice block is the block melting. Now you need to join the bricks together. Traditionally, especially in your home, you would use something like cement, but here in Harbin they use something completely different. Water. I kept it in my coat to try and keep it liquid. V ery simply pour the water on and I literally only have a few seconds to get the next brick on top before the water freezes. The idea is that two fuse together and it becomes a solid structure. A bit more Harbin cement.Now, the moment of truth. I will put some batteries to my LEDs and, in theory i will be able to illuminate this piece of work. Of course, there is a slightly bigger switch box for the main event. Each individual light is painstakingly turned in by hand, row by row, building by building, and i get to turn on the very last building. Which switch is it? This one here? Three, two, OK! There it is, a little bit of Russia in the middle of China. The ice city has developed across an entire year by a team of architects and lasts just three months.“Mr.Cui Shiyao is the cheif designer. How does it make you feel, that everything you have created here is going to melt? ““As a desi gner, I do regret that it will disappear. The nature of ice is that it will melt. But this sadness makes it beautiful too. A good design lasts for eternity”Harbin is following a tradition that has put light at heart of Chinese celebrations for thousands of years. I traveled west of Beijing to a town which has preserved one of China‟s most extraordinary ancient light shows. If you want to see a centuries-oldslice of China, Nuanquan is a good place to start. Its name means warm spring town and it‟s called that because it has a geothermal spring which never freezes, a bonus really here in the winter when the temperature dropped to minus 20 degrees. Because of this, Nuanquan has been inhabited for over 20,000 years and much of what you can see here dates back to the Ming Dynasty, and it‟s over 500 years old. But it is not just these ancient buildings I‟ve come to see. I‟m here because Nuanquan is a place there some of China‟s oldest New Y ear traditions have also been perfectly preserved. One of the most spectacular and the most dangerous of them is called Dashuhua which basically means creating a canopy of flowers. A canopy of flowers made from flying shards of molten metal. This tradition was started here 500 years ago as a cheap alternative to fireworks by a blacksmith like Mr Xue. His family have been blacksmiths here in Nuanquan for an incredible 14 generations and he is the last in a long line of Dashuhua masters.“It was passed down from my grandfather. I started learning at 14. I‟ve been doing it for 20 y ears. Dashuhua is a brave man‟s game. The metal is at 1600 degrees it‟ll burn your hand.”“Are these wounds from your work? How painful is that?”“Painful!! Normal people wouldn‟t dare!”The tradition has been that the art is passed down from fathers to sons, and Mr Xue has two daughters.“Who …s next? Who is gonna take over from you?”“I‟m the 14th generation Dashuhua Master, bur my children don‟t want to learn, it‟s tough and dangerous and they think it‟s hard! They want to go to university.”Creating a light show out of molten iron is a dangerous business, but Mr Xue has agreed to show me how how it is done. The molten iron has been cooking for about 45 minutes and it is looking pretty hot but, before we let any sparks fly. Mr. Xue has to get into protecting clothing. If you think he is going to don a full asbestos suit with some goggle and helmets, think again.“This is the protective clothing my grandfather left me. As straw hat. Let‟s scoop some out. And take a look. ”Ready to go in the most flammabl e protecting gear I‟ve ever seen, Mr. Xue gives me my first ever demonstration of Dashuhua. That was a small-scale demonstration, if you want to see the full version you‟ve got to go inside tonight into the theater. Traditionally, Dashuhua was performed outside, but the demand is so big today that a specially built venue packs in 1,500 each night. The old city walls have been recreated and throwing molten iron onto those ancient walls was where Mr. Xue …s forefathers invented the art. The dancing and singing are just the warm up before the massive Dashuhua finale. And now for Mr. Xue‟s big moment. Protect only by his grandfather‟s sheepskin and straw hat. Mr. Xue is the eye of a storm of molten metal. That was amazing. And the effect is beautiful. I know fireworks have come a long way in 500 years, but for me, Dashuhua still holds its own. I feel really privileged to have witnessed an ancient tradition performed by the last of the Dashuhua Masters. If you want to see what modern day fireworks are capable of, join me and Ant in Hong kong in a couple of nights time when we will be at one of the most spectacular。
