About the "origin of May Day" is like this:

This festival originated from the general strike of workers in the United States. On May 1, 1886, Chicago workers went on strike for an eight-hour workday, and after a hard struggle, they were finally victorious. In commemoration of the workers' movement, May 1 was designated as a common holiday of the international proletariat.

The Chinese celebration of Labor Day can be traced back to 1918. In the same year, some revolutionary intellectuals distributed leaflets introducing the "May Day" to the masses in Shanghai, Suzhou, and other places. On May 1, 1920, the workers of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and other cities took to the streets of Gaihe to hold huge demonstrations and rallies.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, China designated May Day as the statutory Labor Day in December 1949.

The American labor movement, which originated in the 19th century, has received positive responses from workers all over the world. By the end of the 19th century, May 1 was a common holiday of the international proletariat.

In China, May 1 has become a holiday for workers, and the practice of fiction is also inseparable from some of the pioneers in the history of the labor movement.

On May 1, 1919, Li Dazhao published "'May Day' May Day Miscellaneous Feelings", paying attention to the living conditions of the working class.

On May 1, 1920, Li Dazhao published "History of the May Day Movement" in New Youth, introducing the origin of the May Day and the activities of workers in the United States, France and other countries to commemorate the "May Day", and calling on Chinese workers to take this year's "May Day" as a purely false date for awakening. On May 1 of that year, the "Peking University Student Weekly" published the "Labor Memorial Issue", and more than 500 school workers and students attended a commemorative meeting, and Li Dazhao delivered a speech. He Mengxiong and eight other Peking University students and some young people went out to publicize and distribute the "Beijing Labor Declaration on 1 May."

This is the first time that China has commemorated the International Labor Day, and it is also the first May Day in China's history.
