五一國際勞動節，又稱為五一節，在每年的5月1日慶祝。從1889年開始，全球共有超過八十個國家慶祝這一節日。人們可能會認為勞動節就是在5月1日放假，不用上班，但大多數人不知道勞動節是怎么來的以及它背后的故事。
In the late of 18 century,the cruel capitalists in order to make more money,they demanded their employers to work all day,but only paid them with low salaries.In America,the workers had to work at least 14 hours a day,sometimes,they even worked as long as 18 hours.Due to the unfair payment,the works knew that they had to stand up and fight for their rights,or all of them will die young.Then the workers started to go on strike,demanded that the reasonable working hours should be 8 hours a day.However,the capitalists did not pay attention to the workers’demand.The workers had to fight for their rights for themselves.On may 1st,1886,the United States and Canada’s worker unions got together to start the biggest strike.After that day,the law had passed the rules that the workers’working hours would be 8 hours per day.This strike had made a different.The worker did not need to suffer from the long working hours with low payment.
在18世紀末，殘酷的資本家為了創造更多的價值，他們要求工人們整天工作，卻給工人支付極少的報酬。在美國，工人們每天至少要工作14個小時，有時候，他們甚至要工作長達18個小時。因為不合理的報酬，工人們深知只有站起來反抗才能獲取自己的合法權益，免得他們就會過勞死。工人們開始罷工，要求每天的合理工作時間為八小時。然而，資本家們卻不理會工人們的要求。工人們只有繼續爭取自己的權益。在1886年5月1號，美國和加拿大的工作團體聚集在一起，發起了有史以來最大的罷工。從那之后，法律通過了每天工作8小時的條例。這次罷工改變了歷史。工人們不用再次忍受長時間的工作以及少得可憐的報酬。
The international worker’s day aims to memorize the spirit of brave and show our honor to the former workers.Because they had make great contribution to today’s happiness.
五一勞動節的目的在于紀念勞動者堅強勇敢的精神以及向前輩勞動人民的尊敬。因為他們付出了太多的努力來換取我們今日的幸福。
