International Labor Day (International Workers' Day; International Labor Day; May Day) is a national holiday in more than 80 countries in the world and a holiday for working people around the world to unite and fight. It is held on May 1st (in some countries for other times, such as the United States, Canada).
       May 1 International Labor Day is the result of the struggle of the working class. As capitalism entered the monopoly stage, workers were forced to perform a large amount of labor every day. In order to safeguard their rights, the workers decided to fight. In 1886, 350,000 workers in Chicago and other cities in the United States held general strikes and demonstrations, demanding the implementation of an eight-hour work system and improvement of working conditions. The U.S. authorities, under pressure from international public opinion and society, announced the implementation of an eight-hour work system. To commemorate this struggle, in July 1889, the Second International’s Congress in Paris established May 1 as International Labor Day.
       The May Day International Labor Day is of great significance. Workers have fought for their legitimate rights and interests through struggle and used a tenacious, heroic and unyielding spirit of struggle. This is a historic progress in human civilization and democracy. To celebrate the International Labor Day, the Communist Party of China and the government commend workers who have made outstanding contributions and hold rallies or cultural and sports activities. Internationally, some countries will hold demonstrations on May Day, while others have unique folk activities.
