Today is International Children's Day
Today is International Children's Day, the happiest day for children. Today is also the second "June 1 International Children's Day" in China. Let's learn about the origin and story of International Children's Day.
The world's first children's festival was initiated and organized by a group of children in Chicago, USA on May 4, 1886. At that time, over 500 students from a primary school in Chicago held an event on campus, where they gave their purchased candies, toys, and other gifts to orphans, impoverished children, and disabled children. This is the earliest organization in the world to celebrate Children's Day.
The first Children's Day in China was November 15, 1949. The China Children's and Youth Foundation was officially established and the first National Conference on Child Welfare was held on June 1, 1950.
