Happy International Children's day

DON'T GIVE UP YOUR CHANCE TO BE A CHILD ONCE A YEAR! BE CHILDISH AND BE FREE!

Since December 14, 1954, United Nations and UNESCO observes 20 November as the Universal Children's Day "to be observed as a day of worldwide fraternity and understanding between children. It recommended that the Day was to be observed also as a day of activity devoted to promoting the ideals and objectives of the Charter and the welfare of the children of the world."

[edit] People's Republic of China In the People's Republic of China, Children's Day is celebrated on June 1. Schools remain open, children attend class and still have to do homework. Students participate in a wide variety of activities to strengthen allegiance to their country, have fun, and take part in, and join youth organizations such as the Communist Youth League.

Hong Kong Children's Day is celebrated on April 4 each year (the same day as the Republic of China (Taiwan) since ROC established the Children's Day on April 4 in 1931. The ROC government combined Women’s Day with Children’s Day on April 4 in 1993, officially calling it Women’s and Children’s Day, making it a day for women, mothers, and children.) The practice is still observed by both the Hong Kong SAR Government and the public after the handover in 1997, though this festival has not been a public holiday before the handover.

Republic of China (Taiwan) The Republic of China (Taiwan) designates April 4 as Children's Day (兒童節), pursuant to Article 5 of the Order to Implement Commemoration Days and Holidays (紀念日及節日實施辦法). Despite not being a legal holiday, schools often hold special activities in order to celebrate the occasion. Due to pressure from parents that demanded to accompany their children in the celebration, the ROC government recognized Women’s Day with Children’s Day on April 4, 1993. Thus, the celebration is technically called Women’s and Children’s Day.
