常見評論欄目的觀點
View Points from the Commentators of the Media:

．黃金周帶來好處的同時，也帶來不少壞處：消費的亂象，環境遭到不可逆轉的破壞
       While the Golden Week did bring some benefits, it also brought about something negative, such as the irregularities in consumer market, and the irreversible destruction of the environment.
．必須正視黃金周旅遊所帶來的心理負擔：一種攀比 (pan1bi3)、鬥富(dou4fu4)的社會現象
     We should look at some negative phenomena brought about Golden Week Tourism: people are engaging themselves in unrealistic competition to see who can afford expensive travel.

      Should the government reinstate the golden week of May 1st Golden Week in future calendar?

．黃金周除了放大假之外，還能不能讓人想到原來節日的意義？

       （春節應該讓人想到，一年應該從好的準備和計劃開始）
         For lunar new year, one should consider that a good planning with good preparation is a good start for the whole year)
       （五一勞動節應該讓人想到，勞動大眾的權益要靠勞工本人積極爭取，同時要靠政府實現對勞工的承諾：勞動場所的安全、勞工保險、勞工過勞、勞工討薪等問題都有待解決）
         For May 1st holidays, one should understand that the rights of workers should be fought for by the workers themselves, and also be preserved by the government through committing itself to realize its promise in safety of the work place, insurance for laborers, and solution of the issues of overworking of the laborers, delayed salary payment.)
       （十一國慶應該讓人(特別是國家幹部）想到，共產黨建立新中國的初衷、國家現在面臨的處境、中國夢如何實現等問題）
         For October 1st holidays, one, especially the cadres of PRC should revisit the original intent when founding this new nation, the current difficulty our nation faces, and the way to realize the China Dream, etc.)
