With the largest population in the world and an underdeveloped railway system，China is notorious for making train tickets particularly hard to purchase for ordinary citizens, especially during the Spring Festival when the railway is the primary means of transportation.As a result， ticket scalpers have proliferated, monopolizing a large quantity of tickets by either hiring people to buy tickets or conspiring with the ticket sellers within the railway stations.
中国拥有世界上最多的人口，但铁路系统却欠发达，中国多年来在让普通民众极难顺利的买到车票上一直是臭名昭著； 尤其是在春节期间，火车作为人们主要的交通手段，一票难求。这样一来，票贩子们层出不穷，垄断了很大一部分票源。 其做法有二：一是雇人购票，二是与火车站内的售票员狼狈为奸。
