At the end of the 18th century, in many countries, such as the United States and Europe, capitalists continued to brutally exploit workers by increasing labor hours and labor intensity.In the United States, workers have to work 14 to 16 hours a day, some as long as 18 hours, but the wages are very low.

Heavy class oppression aroused great anger among the proletarians. In 1877, the first national strike in American history began. Under the strong pressure of the labor movement, the United States Congress was forced to enact the law of the eight-hour working day. But this law is just a piece of paper, and the workers are still living in dire straits, tormented by the capitalists.

On May 1, 1886, 350000 workers from more than 20000 companies in the United States stopped work and took to the streets and held a massive demonstration. Workers of all colors and types of work carried out a general strike together. In Chicago alone, 45000 workers took to the streets. Major industrial sectors in the United States are paralyzed.

After a hard and bloody struggle, we finally won the victory. To commemorate this labor movement, on July 14, 1889, the Second International Socialist Congress held in Paris under the leadership of Engels designated May 1 as a common holiday for the international proletariat. This decision immediately received a positive response from workers around the world.
On May 1, 1890, the working class in Europe and the United States took the lead in the streets and held grand demonstrations and rallies to fight for their legitimate rights and interests. From then on, on this day, the working people of all countries in the world will rally and march to celebrate.
The Development of Labor Day in China
On May 1, 1920, workers in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Jiujiang, Tangshan and other industrial cities marched towards the market and held massive parades and rallies.
In Beijing, Li Dazhao published "The History of the May 1st Movement" in "New Youth", introducing the origin of the "May 1st" Festival and the activities of workers in the United States, France and other countries to commemorate the "May 1st", calling on Chinese workers to take this year's "May 1st" as the date of awakening.

Chen Duxiu published important articles such as "The Problem of Hunan Women Workers in Shanghai Health and Cotton Mill" and "The Consciousness of the Worker", which exposed the truth of capitalists' exploitation of the surplus value of workers, and clarified that "labor creates the world" and "people who work are the most useful and valuable" View.
In Shanghai, under the guidance of Chen Duxiu, more than 5000 workers held the World Labor Memorial Conference jointly prepared by seven groups, including the all-China Association for the Promotion of Industry, and put forward the requirements of the "38 system" of eight hours of work, eight hours of rest, and eight hours of education. and chanted slogans such as "long live labor" and "long live the Chinese industrial community.
After the founding of New China, the Central People's Government Administration Council in December 1949 will be May 1 as the statutory Labor Day, the national holiday day. On this day of the year, the whole country celebrates. People change into festive costumes and happily gather in parks, theaters, and squares to participate in various celebration gatherings or cultural, sports and entertainment activities, and commend workers who have made outstanding contributions.
On September 18, 1999, for the first time, the annual Spring Festival, "May Day" and National Day statutory holidays were added to the holiday, and the national holiday was 7 days, forming 3 "Golden Weeks". On December 14, 2007, the "May Day" holiday was adjusted from 7 days to 3 days, reducing 4 days; the May Day Golden Week will also become history.Labor Day is here, so you can relax,Shandong Yikuang Drilling and Mining Technology Co., Ltd. wishes everyone a happy holiday and everything goes smoothly.
