Labor Day is a holiday celebrating workers' rights and the value of labor in many countries and regions around the world.
The holiday originated on May 1, 1886, when workers in Chicago, US, staged a massive strike and demonstration demanding an eight-hour workday.
The movement quickly spread around the globe and became an international symbol of the working class' struggle for rights and interests.
In China, Labor Day is a legal public holiday, usually connected to a weekend to create a several-day holiday.
The holiday provides workers with opportunities for rest and recreation, as well as a time for family reunions, travel and tourism.
