On the morning of January 11, the First Session of the 14th Sichuan Provincial People's Congress opened in Chengdu. Liu Hong, deputy to the provincial people's congress and secretary of the party group and director of the Ganzi Prefecture Bureau of Culture, Radio, Television and Tourism, made a suggestion: It is hoped that the Spring Festival will be closed two days earlier, and the three-day Spring Festival statutory holiday will be increased to five days, plus two weekends off, and the Spring Festival holiday will actually be extended to nine days, so that citizens who have traveled far can go home early for reunion. It is also suggested that Sichuan, as a major province of cultural tourism, take the lead in piloting the country.
Liu Hong himself also posted on social media: "It is recommended that Sichuan take the lead in the country to pilot the adjustment of the legal holiday of the Spring Festival to 5 days, and actually extend it to 9 days."
As the most important traditional festival in Chinese, the Spring Festival is a day of reunion of the whole family, who have been working hard for work and life all year round, but many of them cannot get together at all due to the distance between their families Chinese New Year's Eve Therefore, it is recommended that the Spring Festival be closed two days in advance, and the three-day Spring Festival statutory holiday will be increased to five days, plus the two weekends of the beginning and the end of the holiday, and the Spring Festival Golden Week holiday will be effectively extended to 9 days.
Taking a holiday two days in advance is conducive to increasing the cohesion of family affection in Chinese, allowing the Chinese New Year to return to the origin of Chinese culture, making family affection stronger and the taste of the New Year stronger. In addition, if there is a 9-day holiday, the family can go out to travel, which can drive consumption and play a good role in promoting the recovery of the economy after the epidemic.
To this end, it is recommended that Sichuan, as a major province of cultural tourism, take the lead in piloting the country. ”
As the secretary of the party group and director of the Zizhou Bureau of Culture, Radio, Television and Tourism, Liu Hong was previously popular because of his handsome appearance and novel short video form.
This suggestion sparked heated discussions among netizens, and most of them agreed, "Thank you Liu Bureau for thinking about our children who are far away from home, I was moved to cry", "Nine days, many people can spend more time with their families at home." ”
At the same time, "recuperation" was also mentioned repeatedly. Netizens said that "you should cancel the transfer directly, and then transfer it and die at work", "This suggestion is good, but it will not be put for nine days, and then the extra two days will be transferred back, right? If this is the case, it is recommended that the leave be cancelled". Of course, some netizens said that the Lantern Festival also needs people to speak.
