May Day is approaching, different from the arrangement of consecutive holidays in previous years, this year's pre-holiday and post-holiday have adopted a "borrowing before and after moving" type of holiday, which has aroused heated discussions among the majority of netizens.
According to the data, an expert recently said in an interview that this way of adjusting the holiday is not to let people really rest, but to hope that through this move, post-holiday consumption can be better stimulated. As soon as this remark came out, it was immediately questioned and commented on by netizens, and the related content quickly rose to the top of the Weibo hot search list, becoming the most widely spread hot topic on the Internet.
According to expert analysis, in recent years, the growth rate of consumption in the mainland after the holiday has declined, and the cultural and tourism departments and catering industries in various places are facing certain difficulties. By adopting the "borrowing before moving" holiday arrangement, we can take advantage of the "holiday effect" generated by the holiday to achieve "holiday extension" by increasing the number of working days, so that consumption can continue to the post-holiday period, thereby stimulating and boosting the post-holiday market. To a certain extent, this practice has achieved the purpose of "stimulating consumption".

However, as soon as the expert's remarks came out, they were immediately questioned and disagreed with by netizens. This kind of compensatory leave has caused great psychological and physical distress to the majority of laid-off workers and ordinary employees. Under the "borrow and move" model, people not only fail to enjoy real vacations, but also have to work for many days in a row after the holiday, which is contrary to the original intention of compensating for holidays.
Netizens are hotly discussed
Netizens said: We must create value when we go to work, and we must also create value when we are on vacation.
Netizens said: I advise netizens, try to stay at home during the May Day holiday, don't go anywhere, rest well, take care of your body, and don't lose your wife and soldiers.
Netizens said: I'll just lie flat at home, don't want to make my money.
Netizen suggestion: In order to stimulate consumption, it is recommended to set up three days of long holidays every week.
Netizens said: Why can't we give a few more days of real holidays to stimulate consumption? Don't be stingy with the holiday in exchange for GDP! Give 7 days for Qingming, 15 days for the Spring Festival, 7 days for the National Day, and 7 days for May Day.
Write at the end
There are also limitations to relying solely on the way of compensatory leave to stimulate consumption. The vitality of consumption depends not only on the holiday itself, but more importantly, on the actual spending power of the public. At present, the income level and consumption pressure of many groups in the mainland are still relatively high, and even if there is a holiday, it is still difficult to achieve high-quality consumption. Relevant departments should strengthen the improvement of employment and income levels, improve people's livelihood, and adopt more tax and fee reductions to help the masses increase disposable income, which will be a more effective way to boost consumption and expand domestic demand in the long run.
Overall, the goal of "stimulating consumption" pointed out by experts is meaningful. However, it is difficult to achieve this goal by relying solely on the compensatory rest arrangement, which can not truly guarantee the reasonable rest of the masses, and the effect is limited. Compared with "one size fits all", it would be better to adopt a more targeted and flexible multi-measure approach, such as moderately increasing holidays, guiding multiple vacation methods, and focusing on solving people's livelihood problems, which will be more in line with the long-term interests of the public and economic development. Compensatory leave should be people-oriented and balance the needs of all parties in order to achieve the best results.
