Yes and a big part of this can be explained by the previous 2024 Spring Festival when a lot of factories and businesses figured out they could close or carry out staff reductions during the holiday while everyone was at their villages. So then what happened this year is a kind of belief (rightly or wrongly) but that whoever returns first might keep their jobs. those who come back last may then be told there is already enough staff so they aren't needed. This kind of belief spreads and as they said someone might think 'The smart thing to do is get back earlier than others to make sure i don't get left out. Then they saw many many other smart people with the same beliefs racing home.
