Spring breeze and spring rain swept through Yuan Ye, and a long layer of green was awakened. In May, in this spring season, it is a day of heavy thunder and little rain, and the geese flying south waded home; It is the brilliant season when apricot blossoms are in full bloom in Shan Ye. "She laughs in the bushes"; It is a good season for winter wheat farmers to sweat and hoe. Frogs chirping insects, fish jumping birds scattered, and the wilderness in early spring was noisy. Flying kites are in the embrace of the blue sky, and people on the ground are stretching their muscles and saving their physical strength. Unconsciously, spring is quietly coming to us with light steps-in the spring of May. May is a paradise for children. Throw away the heavy cotton-padded clothes and hats, run to the fields to play, and sing a spring song on the willow flute. May is the day of young people, the season of surging spring tide, holding hands with my son, walking with him, picking roses in spring and decorating the sky of love; May is a festival for the elderly, walking with the spring birds singing and fishing on the newly thawed lake ... May is a festival for all people and working people all over the world. [-Looking for an article, I found that the days flowed away like running water, and the memories became more and more mottled with the passage of time, but people did not forget this scene. "May Day International Labor Day" became a special commemoration of their heroic feats. Working people are the greatest people in the world. They created the world, created mankind and created our happy life today. It is labor that has created today's towering buildings; It is labor that has built the modern information superhighway; It is labor that turns the vast land into a small village; It is labor that turns vast wasteland into vast fertile land. Labor is magical, and labor is great. With hard-working hands and wisdom, laborers have woven this colorful world and created human civilization. Let's pay tribute to the workers all over the world on this special day! In May full of true feelings, I hold your hand full of cocoons due to labor, send my sincere wishes and listen to the hymn of your labor. "beside the ancient road outside the pavilion, the grass is blue" is a kind of life; "Leaning against the railing and resting in the rain" is a kind of life; If the midstream hits the water, the waves will stop the flying boat. This is a kind of life. "Unknown, selfless dedication" is also a kind of life. All kinds of life and labor are like sugar cubes in coffee, which makes our life interesting; Labor is like the scenery on the roadside, which makes our life colorful. Maybe, the truth may be. In the tall building outside the building, in the pavilion outside the building, let's join hands, shoulder to shoulder, full of lofty sentiments, and sing a song "River of No Return" to send the blessings of workers all over the world to the distance and tomorrow. Let's cheer for tomorrow, sing for May and give high-five to the workers!
Except North America, May 1 day is celebrated as International Labor Day all over the world.
Strangely, May 1 originated in America. In the late19th century, when the influence of the industrial revolution began to take shape, workers had almost no rights. Reporter Michael Thomas pointed out that "the political and legal system has not even recognized the most basic rights such as workplace safety, community health and child protection." Nevertheless, the right to an eight-hour working day-which we have realized is a basic right and the pillar of our working day structure-has become a call to unite workers all over the world.
On April, the American Federation of Labor announced a national strike, demanding an eight-hour working day. Thousands of people responded to this call. In the next few days, more and more people joined the strike, which culminated in a large-scale rally in Chicago Haymarket Square on May 4. At the end of the rally, someone threw a bomb at the crowd, killing one policeman and injuring others. The police shot and killed several demonstrators and injured hundreds.
Eight labor leaders were finally put on trial. Despite lack of evidence, four people were hanged, one committed suicide and three people were sentenced to life imprisonment (in 1893, all eight people were pardoned due to lack of evidence). Since then, these events, as well as the way workers gathered together, have become symbols of sacrifices made in the struggle for better working conditions. May 1 day, the original demonstration day, is now considered as International Workers' Solidarity Day.
