Liang Yingfei—Caixin Media
Each year ahead of the Lunar New Year, an estimated 400,000 migrant workers in Guangdong province travel home by motorcycle.

This year, photographer Liang Yingfei set up a roadside mobile photo studio to make portraits of homebound bikers and the things they brought with them.
