International Labor Day is a universal holiday for the proletariat and working people all over the world.

This festival originated from the workers' strike in Chicago, USA.

?The following explains it from three aspects.

1. The cruel background of the struggle at that time: The 1880s was a period of rapid development of the American capitalist economy, and the United States had become one of the most developed capitalist countries in the world.

However, American workers, like workers in other countries, have heavy workloads, low wages, and long working hours.

Workers have to work 14 to 16 hours, and some even have to work 18 hours, but their lives are still miserable.

2. The struggle for the eight-hour work system: On May 1, 1886, 350,000 workers from more than 20,000 companies in the United States finally held a demonstration and put up slogans demanding the implementation of the eight-hour work system.

After an arduous struggle, under the pressure of the world's progressive canon and with the unyielding efforts of the American working class, in December 1887, nearly 200,000 workers in the United States finally won the victory in the struggle for the eight-hour working day.

3. The Second International determined May 1 International Labor Day: July 14, 1889, which was the 100th anniversary of the storming of the Bastille during the French Revolution.

On this day, in Paris, France, the International Socialist Congress grandly opened and the Second International was established.

Based on the proposal of a French representative, the meeting passed a historic resolution, which is to designate May 1st, the anniversary of the American workers' struggle for the eight-hour working day, as the international proletarian communism holiday.

--International Labour Day.

Since then, May 1st every year has become a holiday for the unity and struggle of the working proletariat and working people all over the world.

This day is not only the anniversary of the working class's struggle for the eight-hour working day, but also a symbol of the unity and struggle of the working class around the world.
