Topic 26 My View on Changes of NationalPublic HolidayFrom 2008, the past national holiday pattern haschanged:the previous
seven-day Labor’s Day hasbeen shortened into a three-day holiday,with somenew
one’ day holidays set up, such as QingmingFestival, Duanwu Festival, and
Mid-autumn Day.
And this change has become a hot topic around thecountry.
People hold different opinions about this change.
Some argue that it is of great benefit.
Firstly, it can restore and consolidate Chinese traditions,
for Qingming Festival can remind people of their ancestors
and those who sacrifice themselves for the liberation of the country,
Duanwu Festival can make people better understand nationalism,
and Mid-autumn Day can make people share the happiness of
family-gathering.
Secondly, it’s helpful to release pressure on transportation with the short
holidays adopted.
Since in the past, many people would go traveling during the seven-day
Labor’s Day,
it will unquestionably put much pressure on the traffic.
However, other people insist it is no good news for Chinese economy,
especially tourism,
with more people spending less on shopping and traveling in shorter
holidays.
Personally, I think its benefits overweigh the demerits,
since currently, with China developing at a surprising speed, it’s more
important to remindpeople of the virtues, traditions, and customs of Chinese
civilization.
