“全体员工享受三天带薪春假”，大人和孩子都需要“春天”
双语君约 5 分钟“中小学放春假的消息刷了屏，我们忽然意识到：孩子们需要春天，大人也一样。你值得和小朋友一样，拥有一段不被催促的春天。”
近日，江苏昆山一公司发布放三天带薪春假的通知引发网友关注。
A machinery company in Kunshan, Jiangsu province, has introduced a three-day paid spring break for its employees — separate from annual leave and with no makeup days — sparking widespread attention online.
据报道，这家位于昆山的机电设备公司表示，带薪春假是在职工年休假之外新设的，前后不调休。和清明假期连休，该公司的员工可享受六天假期。放假通知中写道，“要拼搏，也要有停下来的从容。这三天不看工作消息，不赶会议进度，可以陪孩子放风筝、陪父母踏青，或者把自己变回小孩——追一朵云，看一场花开，躺在草地上发发呆。”同时，该公司也制定了春假期间应急方案。
The break coincides with the local school system's spring holiday (April 1–3) and, combined with the Qingming Festival, gives staff six consecutive days off. "Striving hard matters, but so does the grace to pause," the company said in its notice. "No work messages, no meetings. Fly kites with your children, or simply turn back into a child — chasing clouds, watching flowers bloom, lying on the grass."
The move comes as Jiangsu province officially rolls out spring and autumn breaks for primary and secondary schools this year.
All 13 prefecture-level cities have issued proposals encouraging employers to align paid leave with school holidays, making it easier for working parents to take time off with their children.
In Suzhou, authorities are promoting collective bargaining to include flexible scheduling and staggered leave in labor agreements, explicitly supporting the leave rights of employees with school-age children.
多地鼓励“学生放春秋假，家长同步休”
近些年，多地中小学生放春假的消息引发关注。与此同时，不少职工家庭也开始反映“学生放假、家长无休”的问题。
而现在，不光是苏州，已经有多地将春秋假和带薪休假一并考虑，提出了破解之策。
Similar initiatives are emerging nationwide. Zhejiang province encourages combining annual leave with statutory holidays and school breaks to create longer family-friendly vacations.
Cities in Anhui — including Hefei, Xuancheng, and Wuhu — have urged employers to prioritize leave requests from employees with school-age children.
In Jiangsu, Taizhou and Huai'an have called for spring outings, childcare support, and flexible leave to improve worklife balance, while Changzhou has introduced incentives that make staggered leave a factor in corporate evaluations for harmonious labor relations.
"Work is for a better life, and life in turn brings better motivation for work," read one proposal from Huai'an.
