Working until the morning of Little New Year's Eve, Zhang Yu said goodbye to her colleagues at the office and, luggage in hand, prepared to head home.
She hadn't managed to get a train ticket for the trip back, but it just so happened that several colleagues were driving home and would pass by her area.
Zhang Yu secured a spot in the car and planned to take a taxi home once they got off the expressway.
This time, she had booked a room again, planning to stay at home for a few days before packing her luggage on the second day of the New Year to go out and have fun.
En route, she received a call from Pan Juan, who asked if she would be able to return home that day.
It was only then that Zhang Yu remembered that today was the day the Zhang Family traditionally worshiped their ancestors—it was New Year's Day for them.
The Zhang Family's New Year celebration started from today, and the entire family would gather until the seventh day.
