◎ Understanding Labor Day: History, Significance, and Holiday Duration

What is labor day?

Chinese Labor Day is a legal holiday in China, usually held on May 1 every year. It is a festival established to commemorate and celebrate the hard work and contributions of working people. China’s Labor Day originated from the labor movement in the early 20th century, aiming to advocate workers’ rights and improve working conditions. On this day, various forms of celebrations, including rallies, parades, theatrical performances, etc., will be held in many places to recognize the hard work of workers. In addition, China’s Labor Day is also a national shopping season, and many merchants will launch promotions to attract consumers to shop.

Why is Labor Day in China on May 1st?

China’s Labor Day is celebrated on May 1st and originated from the international labor movement. International Labor Day originated from the struggles of the working class in the 19th century, first commemorating the chronic marches and protests in Chicago on May 1, 1886. This event, a campaign for an eight-hour work day, became known as the “Chronic March” and led to the global expansion of the labor movement. Later, the international community gradually designated May 1 as International Labor Day to commemorate this historical event and express respect and support for the working class.

China’s Labor Day was influenced by the International Labor Day. In 1949, after the founding of the People’s Republic of China, the Chinese government officially designated May 1 as National Labor Day. This measure aims to commemorate the struggle of the working class, promote the spirit of labor, and promote social harmony and stability. Therefore, the date of Labor Day in China is consistent with the International Labor Day, which is on May 1 every year.
