According to news on October 25, the holiday arrangements for 2024 have been released: the Spring Festival (February 10th-February 17th) holiday will be replaced, with a total of 8 days. Work on February 4th (Sunday) and February 18th (Sunday). Although we have the longest Spring Festival holiday in history, everyone still has to go to work on New Year’s Eve. Why is it arranged like this?
Xing Wei, a researcher at the China Institute of Macroeconomics, said that although there is no nominal holiday on New Year's Eve, all units and institutions are encouraged to make flexible arrangements based on actual conditions.
At the same time, highways are free of charge on New Year's Eve, which essentially creates conditions for people to have an extra day off.
The extension of the Spring Festival holiday can satisfy the general public's wish to have more time for family reunions, and can also achieve the small goal of reuniting first and traveling later during the holiday.
This is an innovative and heart-warming move based on the provisions of the National Holidays and Anniversary Holidays, which fully reflects the good intentions and careful design of the policy makers.
