　　Topic 26 My View on Changes of National Public Holiday
        　　From 2008, the past national holiday pattern has changed: the previous
seven-day Labor’s Day has been shortened into a three-day holiday, with some new
one-day holidays set up, such as Qingming Festival, Duanwu Festival, and
Mid-autumn Day.
        　　And this change has become a hot topic around the country. 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 remind
people of the virtues, traditions, and customs of Chinese civilization.
