We need long holidays to help in the recovery of our country's sluggish economy, says an article in Guangzhou Daily. The following is an excerpt:
Several members of the Guangzhou municipal committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultation Conference recently suggested that Guangdong province should take the lead in extending the three-day May Day break to five days.
The May Day holidays, which used to last five days, were last year reduced to three across the country. It led to a huge decline in consumption during the period.
