Some 260 million Chinese people are expected to travel by rail during this year's "chun-yun", the Spring Festival travel season.
According to the China Railway Corporation, the passenger volume during this year's 40-day spring festival travel rush will be 8 percent more than last year.
Chun-yun is the largest annual human migration in the world. Millions of Chinese travel between their workplaces and their hometowns around the Spring Festival, the Chinese Lunar New Year, which falls on Jan. 31 this year.
The New Year travel season ranges between Jan. 16 to Feb. 24 this year. During this time, an additional 340 trains have been laid on to meet the demand.
We stay in China. Renowned film director Zhang Yi-mou could face a fine of more than 7 million yuan, or 1.2 million U.S. dollars, for birth-control violations.
In an interview with Xinhua News Agency, Zhang and his wife Chen Ting admitted to giving birth to three children before they married two years ago.
Chen said they delayed getting the marriage certificate amid worries that Zhang's identity could be exposed during that process.
Zhang Yi-mou, one of the most popular Chinese filmmakers, made his directorial debut in 1987 with Red Sorghum and has won many awards worldwide. He was chief director of the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.
Chen rejected claims that they enjoyed privileges for the children's hu-kou accounts, or the Chinese household registrations for citizens.
China's family planning policy was introduced in the late 1970s to rein in the surging population by limiting most urban couples to one child and most rural couples to two, if the first child was a girl.
People who have more children than the family planning policy stipulates will be fined.
After calculations based on the combined household income, Zhang could be fined some 7.3 million yuan.
Zhang said he admitted the wrongdoing and was ready to take any consequences. He said as a public figure, his birth violations had exerted bad effects in China.
Zhang's story has ignited a firestorm of online public ire for celebrities who have more children than the policy allows.

继续关注中国新闻。著名电影导演张艺谋可能因超生面临超过7百万元（约120万美元）的罚款。
张艺谋和妻子陈婷在接受新华社采访时承认，二人于两年前结婚，他们在结婚前育有三个子女。
陈婷表示，他们延迟领取结婚证的时间是因为担心张艺谋的身份被曝光。
张艺谋是中国最受欢迎的电影导演之一，他于1987年推出导演处女作《红高粱》，在全世界赢得了多个奖项。他也是2008年北京奥运会开幕式和闭幕式的总导演。
针对外界称他们在孩子上户口时享受了特权的传言，陈婷予以否认。
中国的计划生育政策于上世纪70年代后期开始实施，目的是控制人口激增，政策规定城市夫妻只生一胎，农村夫妻如第一胎为女孩，则可生二胎。
生育孩子的数量如超过计划生育政策的规定将被罚款。
在计算了家庭综合收入后，张艺谋可能面临约730万元的罚款。
张艺谋承认错误并决定承担一切后果。他说他作为公众人物，违反计划生育规定在中国造成了不良的影响。
