Guest ShaQuaNew Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 Well, I missed this one by just a wee, teensy bit. Here's another holiday coming up for young people right on the heels of the long Labor Day weekend in May: 4th of May is China's Youth Day, on which day youth above 14 years old could enjoy a half-day leave. Now the top limit of age is cleared for the adapted, the youth of 14 -28 could enjoy half day. If you were born after 4th May of 1980, you are entitled to enjoy half day as holiday. As to morning or afternoon, you could communicate and decide it with your managers. Chinese people really do enjoy their holidays. One of my co-workers asked whether people in the US get such a holiday... Link to comment

Not only did my son still have school, but we didn't give any time off to our staff that fell within the age range mentioned. Link to comment
Guest Tony n Terrific Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 I thought May 1st was the Communist Holiday for honoring party members. May Day. Link to comment
Guest ShaQuaNew Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 (edited) I thought May 1st was the Communist Holiday for honoring party members. May Day. International Labor Day, as they call it in China, was changed from a one-week holiday for all of China, to a three-day weekend a few years ago. China Youth Day, is another holiday that follows International Labor Day. Edited April 22, 2009 by ShaQuaNew (see edit history) Link to comment

You still have time to give your young staff this holiday. Link to comment

Yes it is for International Labor Day that honors a labor uprising in Chicago USA but yet the USA does not celebrate on this day with the rest of the world. For me this was quite interesting to learn because while I was taught about hte Haymarket Massace in school I was never taught about an International holiday that honored the uprising.
