The Origin of May Day Labor Day

May Day is a common holiday for the working people. The origin of May Day is as follows: This holiday originated from the workers' strike in Chicago, USA. On May 1, 1886, over 200000 workers in Chicago went on a major strike to advocate for the implementation of an eight hour workweek. After a difficult and bloody struggle, they finally achieved victory. To commemorate this workers' movement, on July 14, 1889, the Socialist Congress convened by various countries' thinkers was grandly opened in Paris, France. At the conference, the attending representatives unanimously agreed to designate May 1st as a common holiday of the proletariat. This resolution has received positive responses from workers around the world. On May 1, 1890, the working class of various European and American countries took to the streets and held a grand rally to fight for their legitimate rights and interests. From then on, every day on this day, working people from all over the world gather to celebrate.

The celebration of Labor Day by the Chinese people can be traced back to 1918. That year, some revolutionary intellectuals distributed leaflets introducing the May Day holiday to the masses in Shanghai, Suzhou and other places. On May 1, 1920, workers and masses from cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou took to the streets and held a grand rally. After the establishment of the People's Republic of China, May Day was designated as the statutory Labor Day in December 1949.

Is the highway free on May Day Labor Day

The May Day Expressway is free. According to the notice on holiday arrangements from the State Council, the policy of waiving tolls for small passenger cars with 7 seats or less will continue to be implemented during this year's May Day holiday.

Related legal policies

According to the Implementation Plan for Exemption of Small Bus Toll on Major Holidays, the specific policies for free passage on highways are as follows:

（1） The free passage time range includes four national statutory holidays such as Spring Festival, Qingming Festival, Labor Day, and National Day, as well as the above-mentioned statutory holidays and consecutive holidays determined by the General Office of the State Council in the current year. The free time period starts at 00:00 on one day of the holiday and ends at 24:00 on the day after the holiday (for ordinary highways, the time when vehicles pass through the toll lane of the toll station is used, and for highways, the time when vehicles leave the exit toll lane is used).

（2） The scope of vehicles allowed for free passage is passenger vehicles with up to 7 seats (including 7 seats) traveling on toll roads, including motorcycles allowed to travel on regular toll roads.

（3） The scope of toll roads for free passage includes toll roads (including toll bridges and tunnels) that comply with the provisions of the Highway Law of the People's Republic of China and the Regulations on the Administration of Toll Roads, and have been legally approved for establishment. Whether free passage is implemented on airport highways in various regions shall be decided by the people's governments of each province (autonomous region, city).

The free period for highways starts at 00:00 on the day of the holiday and ends at 24:00 on the following day. Among them, ordinary highways are based on the time when vehicles pass through the toll lane of the toll station, while highways are based on the time when vehicles leave the exit toll lane.

That is to say, vehicles traveling on regular toll roads can enjoy the free policy as long as they pass through toll stations between 00:00 and 24:00 the next day, and vehicles traveling on highways can leave the exit toll lane between 00:00 and 24:00 the next day.
