The origin of Labor Day
In July 1889, the Second International, led by Engels, held a congress in Paris. The conference passed a resolution that in 1890, international workers would hold a parade, and decided to set May 1st as International Labor Day. In December 1949, the Central People's Government State Council made a decision to determine May 1st as Labor Day. After 1989, the State Council basically commended national model workers and advanced workers every five years, with about 3,000 people being commended each time.
