      May 1 is International Labour Day. It is a great holiday for the working class. On this day working people all over the world demonstrate(显示)their power and solidarity(团结). It has its origins(起因,起源)in the struggle for shorter working hours. In 1884, eight Labour Unions of the United States and Canada held a convention(集会)in Chicago (芝加哥). Here it was decided to wage(开展)a united struggle to win the eight-hour day. A resolution(决议)was adopted(通过)fixing May1, 1886, for a great nationwide(全国性的)demonstration(示威).
      On that day, workers in every industrial(工业的)centre in the U.S., numbering hundreds of thousands altogether, went out on strike and held demonstrations. The struggle was fiercest(最声势浩大的)in Chicago where a few days later, the ruling class hit back the bloody suppression(血腥镇压).
      But the workers persisted(坚持)in their heroic struggle. At last they won the right to work no more than eight hours a day. This victory in the U.S. greatly inspired(鼓舞)the working class in world over in its struggle for shorter working hours and improved working conditions.In July 1889, the Second International organized by Engels passed a resolution(决议), fixing May the First as International Labour Day in order to commemorate(纪念)the victory of the strike of the U.S. workers on May 1, 1886, and to manifest(表明)“the unity of the workers of all countries”and their tremendous(巨大的)strength.
      The Chinese working class first celebrate(庆祝)their own Labour Day in 1920. In December 1949, the Central People’s Government set May 1 as Lobour Day and public holiday.
