Think I just found my answer: May 1 is a statutory holiday in the People's Republic of China. Prior to 2008, it was a three-day holiday, but is now just the one day. However, it is usually supplemented by two other days to give the appearance of a three-day holiday, but not being statutory holidays the extra days have to be 'made up' by working either the preceding or following weekend.For example, in 2013, May 1 falls on the Wednesday. Most workplaces, including all government offices, will take Monday 29 April, Tuesday 30 April and Wednesday May 1 off. As the first two days are not statutory holidays they have to be 'made up' by working the preceding weekend (27 and 28 April).
