May Day is also called May 1 International Labor Day.The working people in the world celebrate it every year.

It came from the workers' big strike (罷工) in Chicago, America.On May 1，1886, more than two hundred thousand workers in Chicago held a big strike.They fought for the right (權(quán)利) of working eight hours a day.Why did they hold such a big strike? The reason was that during a long period (時期) the workers in America had to work fourteen to sixteen hours a day.And some workers even had to work eighteen hours a day, but they got very little money.

After the hard struggle (奮斗), the workers won the victory in the end.In memory of the workers' movement, an important meeting was held on July 14, 1889 in Paris, France.At the meeting, all the members agreed to make May 1 every year International Labor Day.From then on, the working people of all countries in the world would celebrate May Day on May 1 every year.

The Chinese people also celebrated May Day before liberation (解放) first in 1918.After new China was founded in 1949, our government made May 1 every year the legal (法定的) Labor Day and all the Chinese people would have a holiday on this day.
