Labor (magazine)

Labor (simplified Chinese: 《劳动》; traditional Chinese: 《勞動》; pinyin: Láodòng) was a Chinese anarchist magazine founded in March 1918, and the first labor magazine in China. Its founders included Wu Zhihui, Liang Bingxin and Liu Shixin (younger brother of Liu Shifu).

## History

[edit]

On the eve of the May Fourth Movement, anarchism was widespread in China.[1]

In March 1918, Wu Zhihui, Liang Bingxian and others founded the monthly magazine in Shanghai to promote the labor movement.[2] Wu Zhihui set the purpose of the Labor as "to respect labor; to advocate laborism; to maintain proper labor and exclude improper labor ... to promote the unity of laborers in China and the world to solve social problems".[1] In the same month, the magazine published an article praising the October Revolution.[3]

The magazine published only five issues and was then discontinued.[4]
