May Day, also known as "International Workers' Day" or "May 1st Festival", is a common festival for all working people around the world. Its origin can be traced back to the United States at the end of the 19th century. At that time, the American working class launched a large-scale strike movement to strive for better working conditions and rights. On May 1, 1886, workers in Chicago, the United States, held a large-scale strike, demanding an eight-hour workday. This strike resonated with the global working class. To commemorate this great workers' movement, in July 1889, the Second International declared May 1st of each year as International Workers' Day.
The establishment of International Workers' Day on May 1st is not only an affirmation of the fighting spirit of the working class, but also a respect for the value of labor. It reminds us that labor is the cornerstone of human social development and the source of creating a better life. On this festival dedicated to workers, we pay our highest tribute to all the hardworking laborers.
The spirit of labor is an excellent tradition of the Chinese nation and a powerful driving force for social progress. The May Day labor spirit is a concentrated embodiment of this spirit. It encompasses multiple aspects such as respecting labor, loving labor, working hard and being honest in labor, and is a precious spiritual wealth formed by workers in their long-term labor practice.
01Revere labor
Admiring labor is the core value of the spirit of labor. Labor is not only a means of creating material wealth, but also an important way to realize personal value and promote social progress. Workers have created the world's wealth with their own hands and watered the flowers of life with their sweat. They are well aware that labor is the cornerstone of human social development and the source of creating a better life. Therefore, they respect labor, Revere labor and regard labor as a kind of honor and responsibility.
02Love labor
Loving labor is the driving force of the spirit of labor. The workers are full of love for their jobs and devote themselves wholeheartedly to them. They pursue excellence, strive for perfection, and contribute their strength to society with a dedicated attitude. Whether it is the construction workers' perseverance under the scorching sun or the medical staff's hustle and bustle between illness and hope, all are vivid manifestations of their love for labor. This passion has enabled them to achieve extraordinary accomplishments in ordinary positions.
03Hard work
Hard work is the practical embodiment of the spirit of labor. The workers have created endless wealth for the society with their hard work and sweat. They spare no effort and work hard in silence, interpreting the essence of diligence with their actions. Whether it is the hard work of farmers in the fields or the day and night efforts of workers in the workshops, they are all vivid depictions of hard labor. This kind of hard work has enabled them to achieve extraordinary accomplishments in ordinary positions.
04Honest labor
Honest labor is the moral code of the spirit of labor. Workers contribute their strength to society with an honest and trustworthy attitude. They abide by professional ethics, adhere to professional conduct, and have won the respect and recognition of society through honest labor. Whether it is the honest operation of entrepreneurs or the dedication of ordinary workers, they are all vivid manifestations of honest labor. This honesty has enabled them to win respect and praise from society in their ordinary positions.
The spirit of labor during May Day is the most precious spiritual wealth of our era. It inspires each and every one of us, no matter what position we hold, to take pride in labor and joy in dedication, to practice the spirit of labor with concrete actions, and to contribute to the realization of the Chinese Dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
