Primary school teacher in Susong county of Anhui province said, "Many people are not satisfied with the shift of holidays. The legal holidays are arranged 'stiffly' and 'stingily' and cannot give people sufficient time to relax."

The expert suggested using transfer payments to encourage enterprises to give employees vacations
