Let me introduce you a comedy Lost on Journey 《人在囧途》 Pay attention to the underlined words

The Spring Festival（春节） is coming. A boss of a toy company decides to come back home to celebrate the New Year. He meets a worker at the airport, who goes to get his money back(讨债) .

They get on the plane. But unfortunately(不幸的是), the plane is forced to land,because of a big snow.

Then they choose to go home by train. But the train is delayed because of the landslide(山体滑坡).

After that, they can only choose to take a coach (长途汽车). But the bus still returns due to（由于） the road’s blocking(阻塞) by the landslide(山体塌方).
