Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
China announces holiday dates for 2014
How democratic the country is!!! Asking its citizens how the
national holidays should be arranged! And as many as over 31,000 netizens out
of over a billion residents responded and the decision and announcement was
made only less than two weeks after the poll was closed! Amazing!
But more surprisingly, the poll was conducted only a month
before the first holiday of the new year and the final arrangement was announcement
only two weeks before the new year!!!
To make this quick time table clear, people haven’t known
when their holidays would be in 2014 until December 11th, 2013!!!
How and when do people, schools and businesses in the one-party-ruled country plan
their business and activities? Don’t they use any paper calendar? They must
have gotten used to it!
Enjoy reading and learning about China’s last-minutes
announcement for their national holidays.
