China's annual labor day
About the origin of China's annual labor day, did you know？
As a product of the labor movement in Europe and the United States, Labor Day originated from the strike struggle of European and American workers for the eight-hour work system in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
And it was introduced into China in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China.

As a new thing introduced from the West, it gradually spread and developed in my country under the conditions of the continuous growth of the modern Chinese labor force, the increasing strength and the widespread rise of the labor movement.
Although it is an imported product, it occupies a position that cannot be ignored in the history of the development of the modern Chinese labor movement.

Whether it is modern or modern, the masses of workers are a group that needs special attention, and Labor Day, as a collective holiday for this group, should have received the same attention.

Modern Chinese workers emerged in the 1940s and 1950s, and the modern workers group emerged as a class in the 1920s. With the development of the May 1st Labor Day, it was introduced into China and developed greatly.

As for the earliest time when the May 1st Labor Day was introduced into China, it is still difficult to clarify from the information currently available.
It was in 1919 that the May 1st Labor Day was introduced comprehensively, and the commemorative activities were widely publicized and expanded in the society.
One of the important propaganda and organization figures was Li Dazhao
.

After a series of workers joined and the political situation changed, after entering the 1920s, the May Day Labor Day commemoration began to be held on a larger scale.
This is the origin of China's May 1st Labor Day.
