A Legal Holiday May Day Has Passed
POWERGATHER has just returned to work from the May Day holiday, the last holiday of the first half of the year, in the midst of a national holiday. So, how did May Day come about? What is its significance?
May Day originated in Chicago, U.S.A. On May 1, 1886, more than 200,000 workers in Chicago held a general strike to fight for an eight-hour workday, and after a hard struggle, the workers finally won. To commemorate this workers' movement, a congress of socialists from various countries, called by Marxists, opened in Paris, France, on July 14, 1889. At the congress, all agreed to make May 1 a common holiday of the international proletariat. On May 1, 1890, the working class in Europe and the United States took the lead in holding demonstrations and rallies to fight for their legitimate rights. Since then, working people in all countries of the world have rallied and traveled on this day to celebrate.
The importance of Labor Day is to commemorate the day when working people fought for their legitimate rights and interests, a big step in the development of human civilization, and a reminder of the indomitable spirit of common struggle of the people. In the past, the legitimate rights and interests of the working people were not guaranteed, and human rights were not fair and free. It was not until the working people gained their legitimate rights and interests through hard struggle that International Labor Day was established, and it was warmly welcomed in most countries, and China has made May Day a legal holiday.
