摘 要: | The days are numbered for China's"golden weeks"as traditional festivals seem set to take their placeThe arrival of China's new holiday system will see an end to the country's May Day golden week and the addition of three traditional festivals,the Tomb-Sweeping Day, the Dragon Boat Festival and the Mid-Autumn Festival, as public holidays. The change has been a hot topic of discussion in recent months,with people asking why it was done and whether other festivals might be added to the country's national holidays. With these questions in mind,Beijing Review interviewed Li Hanqiu,a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and former Director of the Publicity Department of the China Peasants and Workers' Democratic Party,who participated in the process of developing the new holiday system.
