五一劳动节英语手抄报

May Day, also known as International Workers' Day or Labor Day, is a holiday celebrated on May 1st each year. It is a day to honor the contributions and achievements of workers around the world. In many countries, including China, it is a public holiday and a time for people to relax and enjoy various activities.

The origins of May Day can be traced back to the late 19th century when workers in the United States and Europe were fighting for better working conditions and fair wages. The Haymarket affair in Chicago in 1886 played a significant role in the establishment of this holiday. On May 1st, thousands of workers went on strike to demand an eight-hour workday. The protests turned violent, and several workers were killed. In memory of those who lost their lives, May 1st was designated as International Workers' Day.
