March 11th news: Recently, the notice of the Qingming Festival holiday has attracted attention. As the first statutory holiday after the Spring Festival, there will be a 3-day break from April 4th to 6th.
It's worth noting that because Qingming Festival falls on Thursday, April 4th, this time, even though it's only a 3-day break, it still requires a work adjustment, with work resuming on Sunday, April 7th.
Some netizens expressed support for this proposal, as many people need a centralized holiday to arrange their travels for Qingming Festival, when they go home to pay respects to their ancestors.
However, there are also many netizens who don't understand and hope for a scenario similar to last year, where there's no adjustment to the holiday schedule, and instead just have a day off on Thursday, while ensuring a normal weekend. The main reason is that after adjusting the holiday, they would have to work for six consecutive days, and some who have only one day off would have to work for seven consecutive days.
Actually, both sides have valid reasons for their viewpoints, but this also highlights the challenge of never being able to satisfy everyone's needs; choices must be made.
Furthermore, there are still some public holidays coming up this year, including Labor Day, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, and National Day, which will require adjustments to the work schedule.
Of course, some people have found creative ways to take advantage of these holidays. For instance, with some courage and certain conditions, one could potentially take an 8-day break during the Qingming Festival, or even manage to have a day off during National Day.
Here are the details:
