"Small long vacation can do things in general weekend can also do, more out of the day only quantitative change no qualitative change, at all, the effect of Golden Week." And our country within 10 years, it is difficult to fully implement paid leave, rely on the boss to leave a long vacation is not realistic, people have been very hungry for the holiday. In this case, the combination of concentration and dispersed phase of the holiday is the most consistent with public sentiment. ”

For small and medium-sized enterprises that hold a large amount of labor, employees ' right to leave is sometimes difficult to secure, with little policy support.
