Labor (magazine)

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]
