For more than nine days，for more than 60 miles，thousands of Beijingbound vehicles have come to an almost total stop on highways called the 6 and 110 that run from Inner Mongolia southeast to the nation’s capital.
Bai Xiaolong，a 30yearold truck driver，says it took him five days to make the 350mile journey from Inner Mongolia to Tianjin.He spent much of that time reading，textmessaging and sleeping rather than speeding up.
“There was one day that I didn’t move，not even an inch，” said Bai，an inhabitant of Jining in Inner Mongolia，a city at the western end of the traffic jam.
