According to the holiday arrangement notice issued by the General Office of the State Council of China, during the May Day holiday this year, China will have a total of 5 days of holidays from May 1st to 5th, with two days on April 28th (Sunday) and May 11th (Saturday). work. Since May 4th and 5th were originally weekend holidays, the May Day holiday in China this year is actually only one day.

Many netizens said helplessly, “Have you heard the voice of taking more vacations? It’s quite depressing at work. The vacations are too short. Once I have a vacation, I’m busy with everything, and I don’t have any time for myself.” The feeling of working for six or seven days in a row after that is really overwhelming, and it is very long and unbearable. This kind of short vacation will disrupt people’s normal work and life rhythm, and make the period before and after the holiday difficult. The hours of sex work increase, but there is more work pressure and a greater workload before and after the holidays. The holidays are refreshing and hard, but before and after the holidays, it is heartbreaking. “It is called a holiday, but in reality. I don’t know how the experts study the days off! It’s so outrageous!”, “Every year, I ignore the opposition to the days off and pretend that I can’t hear it. I finally let it go. If you have to make up for the leave every time, it’s better not to give it away. Who invented this holiday is really speechless.”
Some netizens even found out what singer Na Ying said in 2013 about adjusting holidays: “I don’t understand why this holiday has to be combined with Saturday and Sunday, and why it has to be moved? Children have seven days and eight days of classes in a row. It’s true. It’s quite tiring… The disruption of the rhythm of life is actually like a secretion disorder. Can students who plan holidays seriously consider our lives? ”
Many netizens expressed their hope that they can have normal holidays and normal weekends. Some netizens said bluntly that they hope to take a longer leave without changing the leave. “There are five days on May Day, and there is only one actual legal holiday. The other four days are made up of weekends and working days. Now there is overcapacity and insufficient consumption. Giving everyone more holidays is definitely beneficial to the entire society.”, ” What I object to is not the change of leave, but the lack of leave. Many people can’t go home for 5 days! (How many people can’t buy tickets? How many hotels have doubled their prices?)”
In the poll “How do you want to take a holiday?” launched on the official Weibo of China News Weekly on April 12, the option “Not to change the holiday, but to take a long holiday” received the most votes, with 11,000 votes; the second-ranked option was “It doesn’t matter how long the vacation is, just don’t change it.” There were 6,033 votes. There were only 517 votes for “adjusting time off to take a long vacation”.
On April 18, Top News published a commentary article titled “You can’t pretend not to hear the voices against furloughs.” The commentary ranked first on Weibo, Toutiao, and Baidu. The Chinese media “Yangtze Evening News” also published an article saying, “Since the ‘adjustment of holidays’ has made the public chatter endlessly, it is better to make appropriate adjustments.” Some netizens also believe that the public’s criticism of the suspension is “sprayed again and again, criticized again and again”, and the authorities “turn a deaf ear to one thing.”
Some netizens compiled a ranking of vacation days in various countries around the world, which showed that China only has 16 days of paid and public holidays each year, ranking 102nd in the world.
