“五一”国际劳动节,源于1886年5月1日美国芝加哥工人为争取8小时工作制而举行的大罢工。为纪念这次伟大的工人运动,在1889年7月“第二国际”成立大会上,宣布将每年5月1日定为“国际劳动节”。这一决定立即得到世界各国工人的积极响应,1890年5月1日,欧美各国的工人阶级率先走向街头,举行盛大的示威游行与集会,争取合法权益。从此,每逢这一天,世界各国的劳动人民都要集会、游行,以示庆祝。值此 May Day International Labor Day, a strike that workers in Chicago on May 1, 1886 took for 8 hours of work. In commemoration of this great workers’ movement, at the inaugural meeting of the “Second International” held in July 1889, it was announced that May 1 will be marked as “International Labor Day.” This decision was promptly received by workers from all over the world. On May 1, 1890, the working classes of various countries in Europe and the United States took the lead in going to the streets to hold grand demonstrations and assemblies and fight for their legitimate rights and interests. Since then, every day on this day, working people from all over the world have to meet and march in celebration. Value this
