Beijing - The public has responded with vigorous support for an NPC deputy’s proposal to extend the
Spring Festival holiday from three days to 10.
     More than 78 percent of about 27,600 respondents to a poll on www.people.com.cn <http://www.
/> voted in favor of the idea of Li Jing, who is also the mayor of Meishan city in South-west
China's Sichuan province. Li   said the lunar new year festival holiday was too short for family reunions,
especially fog the nation's 220 million migrant workers.
     With hundreds of millions of people on the move during such a short time span,the holiday puts great
stress on the public transport system and suppresses tourism, he added. He suggested the ho1iday be
extended and cover the three adjacent (毗连的) weekends, which means the public could take a total
of 16 days off and floating population could spend the Lantern Festival,which falls on the 15th day of the
lunar new year, with their families.
     People would then have sufficient time to fully enjoy the traditional  holiday with their families, Li said
during an interview with People's Daily Online on Friday.
     Most online voters agreed that extending the holiday will ease the burden on public transport and
strengthen family ties. "The Spring Festival is an occasion for family reunions and should be longer than
the National Day holiday," one responder said in an online post. "Every year, I wish I could spend
more time at home for the Spring Festival, but I always have to go back to work. I hope the NPC will
approve this  proposal.
     " Another online comment read: "Extending the Spring Festival holiday could prevent the annual
transportation crush, which has in recent years resembled an exodus (出走) of fleeing refugees (难民)''.
     Most of the about 13 percent who opposed the idea citied difficulties readjusting to work after the
break. Some pointed out that office moral (士气) was generally low during the first week after the holiday. "After thesix-day holiday, many people come back to work feeling absent-minded," one respondent said. Some who opposed the extension suggested adding the Lantern Festival as an official holiday.
     Another 10 percent said lawmakers should carefully study the impacts before they make any decisions
on holidays.
