Under the epidemic, time will not slow down.
Today we usher in the annual Children's Day.
Schools, parents and children have discovered that this year's Children's Day is different from previous years. Teachers no longer need to customize clothes, decorate the stage, and become beauty experts for this grand festival. Parents no longer need to arrange holidays and full energy in advance for this day. Children do not need to rehearse for a month or even longer for a grand performance...
This special Children's Day has no large-scale celebrations, and it is not suitable to go abroad to see the world. Take this opportunity to take a look at Children's Day around the world and feel the Children's Day around you.
Before we introduce Children's Day around the world, let us think about several questions:
What day do you know about Children's Day?
In addition to "June 1", will there be other days to celebrate Children's Day?
Is there any country or region that does not celebrate Children's Day?
Countries that celebrate Children's Day on June 1 include: China, Russia, North Korea, Mongolia, Poland, Ukraine, Romania , Slovakia and other countries.
What we usually call "June 1 Children's Day", is also called "International Children's Day". In fact, this festival is the most inconsistent international dates. Taking Asian countries as an example, different countries celebrate Children's Day on different dates. For example, South Korea's Children's Day is May 5, Japanese girls' Children's Day is March 3, Japanese boys' Children's Day is May 5, and Singapore's Children's Day is on the first Friday of October every year. In Europe, the British Children's Day is July 14, the German Children's Day is September 20, and the French Children's Day is December 6...
From this we can see that not all countries in the world celebrate Children's Day on June 1, and those countries that celebrate Children's Day on June 1 are or have been the socialist camp .
Children's Day was established in the early stages of the Cold War. The resolution made by the Moscow Conference did not receive a response from Western countries. The only countries in the socialist camp responded positively. This is also the reason why the children's Day is so different around the world. If we figure out this issue, we can see how Children's Day is celebrated around the world!

On June 1, 1950, the little masters of New China ushered in the first International Children's Day.

Taiwan and Hong Kong set Children's Day as April 4 because Nanjing National Government Executive Director Kong Xiangxi In 1931, the Chinese Sales Association proposed to set April 4 as Children's Day. Later, after the National Government moved to Taiwan, it still used the tradition of Children's Day on April 4.
For a long time, Hong Kong Chinese followed the National Government's approach and chose to celebrate Children's Day on April 4, and this tradition remains after 1997. But in Hong Kong Children's Day is not a public holiday. The way they celebrate is mostly to give toys or gifts to children, or take their children out for dinner or play.
