Labor Day, also known as "May Day", "International Demonstration Day", "International Labor Day", is a national holiday in more than 80 countries in the world. Set on the first of May every year, it is a common holiday for working people all over the world.
At the end of the eighteenth century, many capitalists in the United States and Europe exploited working people by increasing the length and intensity of their labor. In 1986, the working people of Chicago, usa, carried out a strike movement, proposing a system of eight hours of work a day. Finally the workers won.
In 1889, at the founding congress of the Second International, Engels announced that May 1 would be designated as Labor Day to celebrate the victory of the proletariat.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Government Council of the Central People's Government designated May 1 as the statutory Labor Day in December 1949 and stipulated that Labor Day would be a one-day holiday nationwide.
On September 18, 1999, for the first time, the annual Spring Festival, "May Day" and National Day statutory holidays were added to the holiday, and the whole country took a 7-day holiday, forming three "Golden Weeks".
In 2007, the May Day holiday changed from 7 days to 3 days.
From 2019 onwards, it is stipulated that Labor Day in 2020 will be a 5-day holiday.
Labor Day is coming, and as laborers, we should relax ourselves this holiday. For 365 days, let yourself stop and take a nap.
Yesterday I brushed up on a video of a schoolboy adapting a song about the May Day holiday.
The lyrics go like this:
"Why do you have to go to school on weekends?"
Why are there only Saturdays left on weekends?
I've heard that I have to make up two days of classes for a few days
It turned out that the Holiday of May Day was coming
Didn't you say it was good to let go for five days?
But borrowed two Sundays
And did not say to return
I don't want to lend her."
Hahaha, it's magical with music.
In this way, the holiday is indeed taken up for two days in disguise.
For the change of holiday time, netizens also commented:
Before seven days, it was a recuperation break,
Later put three days, is to build the economy,
Now let go for five days, is to stimulate domestic demand.
It is said that May Day is a holiday second only to National Day, which shows that the degree of attention is not ordinary.
So how did you spend the May Day holiday?
If in the past, most people would have said to go out and have fun.
However, under the influence of the new crown pneumonia virus this year, many people have said that they will accompany their parents and children at home, sleep and rest, and contribute to the society at home.
How are you going to spend the May Day holiday in 2021?
