International women’s day and upcoming holidays

With the Spring Festival and Lantern Festival now firmly in the rear-view mirror, it’s back to a regular work routine for many of us. The hum drum of everyday life resumes, with children back to their normal school schedules and adults back to the grindstone.

However, as everyone settles into their regular work rhythm, there is a little ray of sunshine on the horizon. According to the “National Holiday and Memorial Day Holiday Regulations,” Friday, March 8th marks International Women’s Day and women will have half a day off to celebrate.

Looking ahead, the next statutory holiday won’t arrive until April. From April 4th to 6th, we’ll observe a three-day holiday for Qingming Festival. Traditionally, it’s a time to take a step back, honour the ancestors, and enjoy some leisure time. Please note that work will resume on April 7th (Sunday), marking the end of the holiday period.
