Official holidays that I enjoy will be 17 days and if these days fall on Sunday then we have longer holidays. My annual leave is another 35 days.

Only 5 days? What can you do with 5 days?

Well, I can visit some domestic places or have a good rest at home. I am lucky that my company allows me to spend my annual leave. Some companies find many excuses to stop their staff when they plead to spend their annual leaves. They don't tell the staff "No" directly because it is against the labor law.

Yes, annual leave is a privilege and not a right. If I can't finish my annual leave, I can carry forward for next year or for a golden handshake. Every thirty days of unspent annual leave, an employee can get one month last paid salary complete with other allowances. Government employees are allowed to keep their unspent annual leaves for 5 months. When he retires, the same day he will be paid this golden handshake besides gratuity.

Wan,

In many Chinese companies, your annual leaves will be void if you can't spend it.

Every country has its ups and downs. To look at the positive side, why many foreigners thronged Mainland China? Perhaps you can visit Malaysia and see our political, economic and social scenarios. Malaysia is a small country, with low income but life is not as expensive as in China. You can still find free hot water in many food stalls.

Wan,

As a Chinese old saying goes, 外国的月亮比中国圆. It means "The moon seen in foreign countries is much rounder than that in China." The fact is that we see the same moon from everywhere in the world.
