Introduction:
As we all know, May Day was originally established to commemorate the working people, however, today's May Day holiday seems to be getting farther and farther away from its original intention.
This year's May Day holiday, after a series of compensatory holidays, actually only had one day off. This made many long-awaited migrant workers feel disappointed, and they have complained about this arrangement on social platforms.
Some netizens even turned out Na Ying's complaint on Labor Day in 2013 to vent their emotions
In response to netizens' questions and complaints, Peng Tao, Chief Analyst of ChinaTravelNews, said:
This kind of "make-up" vacation method is not actually for people to get a real rest, but to take advantage of the opportunity of the holiday to stimulate the consumer economy.

Let's see what netizens have to say
Some netizens said: A good holiday has to be pieced together, unreasonable holidays will only change consumption habits, believe it or not, we won't go out on holidays in the future, don't go out to consume, so don't you have to fight for holidays?
Some netizens simply in the comment area, who has less rest in comparison, some have to be 15 days after the holiday, some have to be 16 days in a row, May Day can only rest for two days, and some have to be two weeks, it can only be said that each has its own suffering, it is not easy!
Some netizens said that their units still have to be on duty during the holidays, so it is better to spend a normal weekend, and they can take a good rest, so that they will not be physically and mentally exhausted after adjusting their work and rest.
For netizens who are on duty, not only did they not even have a day off on May Day, but they also had to post it upside down for a day, which can be said to be a loss!
"Isn't this forcing us to go buy, buy, buy?" said some netizens.
Indeed, the original intention of the holidays is to allow people to rest, relax, reunite with their families, and enjoy the beauty of life.
However, today's holiday season seems to be shrouded in a commercial atmosphere, with various promotional activities emerging one after another, making one wonder if this is a festival for working people or a carnival for merchants.
We can understand the government's desire to use the holiday season to stimulate consumption and promote economic growth. But when the nature of holidays is distorted, when people's right to rest is denied, does such economic growth really make sense?
What's more, for many low-level workers, they do not have the financial strength to participate in this consumption spree. They need to work for six days in a row before and after the holiday, and they are physically and mentally exhausted, how can they still have the mood and physical strength to spend?
In addition, some experts pointed out that there are too few statutory holidays in the second half of the year, which is also one of the reasons why the public has a lot of opinions on the holiday.
People are eager to have more time to spend with their families and enjoy life after their busy work. Therefore, appropriately increasing the statutory holidays in the second half of the year may be a solution worth considering.
The editor has something to say
However, despite the complaints of netizens about the holiday arrangement, during the holiday, we can still see the crowded tourism scene.
Perhaps, this is the helplessness of life. We enjoyed a rare break in the midst of complaints and looked forward to the next real holiday.
The arrangement of the May Day holiday has undoubtedly touched people's sensitive nerves for rest and consumption. We should reflect on what exactly is the meaning of the holiday?
Is it to stimulate consumption, or to allow people to have real rest and relaxation? On this issue, we need to find a balance that stimulates the economy and guarantees people's right to rest.
Finally, we would like to ask: what is your holiday in mind, do you want to spend more time with your family, or are you looking forward to a trip that you can just leave?
In any case, we should cherish every holiday and make life more colorful.
At the same time, we also hope that the government can listen to public opinion and arrange holidays reasonably, so that everyone can enjoy the rest and relaxation they deserve after their busy work.
What do you think about this?
