May 1st International Labor Day originated from the strike of workers'congresses in Chicago, USA. On May 1, 1886, more than 216,000 workers in Chicago went on a general strike for the eight-hour work system.     After a painstaking and bloody struggle, they finally won.      In commemoration of this great workers'movement, the Second International announced in July 1889 that May 1 will be designated as International Labor Day every year. This decision was immediately responded positively by workers from all over the world.      On May 1, 1890, the working class of European and American countries took the lead in going to the streets and holding grand demonstrations and rallies to fight for legitimate rights and interests. Since then, the working people of all countries in the world have gathered and marched to celebrate this day.

    As the spring blossoms usher in a new season of life, we commemorate the ancestors and the past on Qingming Festival, also known as Tomb-Sweeping Day. This festival, deeply rooted in Chinese culture, marks a time for remembrance, reflection, and renewal.     The name "Qingming" literally translates to "Clear Brightness," symbolizing the clarity and freshness of spring. It's a time when families gather to visit the graves of their loved ones, offering flowers, food, and incense as a way of showing respect and honoring their memories. The act of sweeping the tombs is not just a physical task; it's a symbolic gesture of clearing away the dirt and memories of the past, embracing a fresh start.     But Qingming Festival is not just about mourning. It's also a celebration of life. As the earth comes to life with new growth, so do we, renewing our spirits and connections with our ancestors. It's a time for reflection, to remember the values and wisdom passed down through generations, and to carry them forward into the future.

    International Women's Day, marked annually on March 8th, is a powerful reminder of the vital role women play in society and a call for gender equality. This day, with its rich history dating back to the early 20th century, is a celebration of women's achievements and a platform for raising awareness about the challenges they face.     The theme of International Women's Day varies each year, focusing on different aspects of women's rights and empowerment. Whether it's advocating for equal pay, breaking barriers in leadership, or combatting gender-based violence, the day serves as a global movement, bringing together people from all corners of the world.     On this special day, we honor the countless women who have made remarkable contributions to science, art, politics, and beyond. We also recognize the brave women who stand up for their rights, often in the face of adversity. Their stories inspire us to continue the fight for gender equality, ensuring that every woman has the opportunity to reach her full potential.
