Father's Day
Father's Day (English name: Father's Day) originated in the United States, and it is a festival to thank father. The date is the third Sunday in June of the Gregorian calendar every year.
Father's Day has been widely spread all over the world, and the date of the festival varies from region to region, but most countries celebrate it by giving gifts, family dinners and other activities.
Origin of festivals in China
Father's Day is not a holiday, and China also has its own Father's Day. The origin of Father's Day in China dates back to the Republic of China.1On August 8, 945, Shanghai launched an activity to celebrate Father's Day, and the citizens immediately responded. After War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's victory, celebrities from all walks of life in Shanghai jointly asked the Shanghai municipal government to forward it to the central government, and designated August 8 as the national Father's Day.
It was1August 6, 945, and Shanghai Shenbao published "The Origin of Father's Day in 1988". The article said: The United States initiated the creation of Mother's Day to commemorate the wives and mothers of soldiers killed in the European War. Now, China should also launch its own Father's Day. Because the word "father" is the same as "August 8th" and the pronunciation of "August 8th" is also the same as "dad", Shanghai citizens are called upon to celebrate "August 8th Father's Day" together. At that time, although the defeat of the Japanese army was fixed, it had not yet surrendered, and Shanghai was still under its control. This initiative "secretly expressed the intention of missing the motherland" was really risky. At the end of the article, there are *** 10 people who are publicly signed, namely: Yen Hui ching, Yuan Xilian, Chen Qingshi, Mei Lanfang, Shi Zhifu, Yan Duhe, Fei Mu, Lu Ganchen, Fu Wenshou and Zhang Yiqu.
All the above-mentioned people are celebrities. Although they have been in enemy-occupied areas for a long time, their patriotic aspirations still exist. For example, in the Beiyang era, Yen Hui ching served as foreign minister and acting prime minister. In 194 1 year1February, Hong Kong fell, and was occupied by the Japanese army. He was forced to return to Shanghai the following year, insisting that he would not hold any official positions in the Wang puppet government.
1945 This "Father's Day" activity initiated by the people has a limited influence. By May 1946, dozens of Shanghai celebrities, such as Pan Gongzhan, Li Shiceng, Song Hanzhang, Wang Xiaolai, Du Yuesheng, Wu Zhihui, Lee Teng-hui (former president of Fudan University) and Qian Yongming, jointly requested the National Government to designate August 8 as "Father's Day" every year. The reason is that
"China won the final victory after eight years of the Anti-Japanese War. Countless soldiers were killed in these eight years, and this generation of soldiers, who advance wave after wave, killed the enemy to bear fruit, were really influenced by his father's daily upbringing and encouragement at any time, so his father's influence on the victory of the Anti-Japanese War was very great. Recalling that after the First World War, Ms. Gaviran of the United States initiated Mother's Day to commemorate the wives and mothers of soldiers killed in the European War, because they made great contributions to the country; We should follow the precedent and stipulate Father's Day, and at the same time commemorate the fathers and brothers of the soldiers who died in this war, because they also have a great influence on the country, which makes the father and mother share the same light. "
The request was approved by the National Government. August 8 every year, it became the national legal "Father's Day". On this day, children wear flowers as a souvenir-those whose fathers are alive wear red flowers; The dead are adorned with white flowers. Related promotion work was also carried out subsequently. For example, as one of the initiators of "Father's Day",1August 7, 946, Yen Hui ching was invited to give a speech on "Father's Day" in the YMCA, "talking about the status and responsibilities of fathers in different societies". The next day, he wrote in his diary: "The newspaper is full of reports about Father's Day".
On Father's Day, we are thinking and expressing our love for our parents, which is incomparable. When our mother takes care of us with great pains, our father is also trying to play the role of burden entrusted to him by God. When we are trying to think about what kind of gift to buy for our father for Father's Day, we might as well reflect on whether we love our father or not. Like him, he has devoted his life to us selflessly.
