If we can solve the practical problems of migrant workers, it would make them feel much happier than merely setting aside a special day for them, says an article in People's Daily. The following is an excerpt:
Recently, Chongqing decided to establish a Migrant Workers' Day to thank them for their contribution to the city.
With rapid industrialization and urbanization, more and more farmers are moving to work in cities. They have contributed to the development of many cities. But due to historical faults, the rights of migrant workers are still not fully guaranteed.
