The origin of children's day on June 1
1In June 1942, German fascists shot and killed more than 140 male citizens over the age of 0/6 and all their babies in Tekolidize village, and took women and 90 children to concentration camps. All the houses and buildings in the village were burned down, and a good village was destroyed by German fascists.
In order to mourn the children who died in the fascist war of aggression in Caicun, Li Di, and all over the world, 1949 165438 10, the International Democratic Women's Federation held a board meeting in Moscow, and China and representatives of other countries angrily exposed the crimes of imperialists and reactionaries from all over the world in killing and poisoning children. In order to protect children's rights to life, medical care and education all over the world and improve their lives, the meeting decided to designate June 1 day as International Children's Day every year.
Before that, many countries in the world had Children's Day. 1925, the International Association for the Happiness of Children initiated the establishment of Children's Day. Britain, the United States, Japan and other countries responded positively and set up their own Children's Day. Britain stipulates that July of 14 is Children's Day, and the United States stipulates that May of 1 year is Children's Day. Japan's Children's Day is very special, divided into boys' Children's Day and girls' Children's Day, boys' Children's Day on May 5th and girls' Children's Day on March 3rd. China also stipulated in 193 1 that April 4th is China Children's Day.
Since 1 June 19491was established as the International Children's Day, countries all over the world have abolished the original Children's Day and unified it into "June 1 International Children's Day". The central government of China announced in February 1949 that "Children's Day on June 1st" would replace the original "Children's Day on April 4th" and stipulated that children should have seven days' holiday.
At present, many countries in the world have designated June 1 as Children's Day, especially socialist countries. In Europe and the United States, the date of Children's Day is different, and public celebrations are rarely held.
Children's Day in Old China
Childhood in the smoke is inevitably painful and angry, but the suffering childhood is also bright and warm. The establishment of the China Anti-Japanese Children's League allowed children in mountainous areas to have their own festival-Children's Day, but it was April 4th.
There are hundreds of thousands of anti-Japanese youth league members in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's Jinchaji Border Region and China. After the magnificent new-democratic revolution, youth league members have become the backbone of socialist construction.
The old league members recalled that on Children's Day, as long as the Japanese didn't "mop up", all counties and districts would organize activities and hold conferences. Sometimes singing competitions are held, and sometimes drills are organized. Children in several villages are still competing to see who sings well and drills neatly. If they win, they will get prizes, usually pencils.
In order to improve the ability to deal with the enemy, military training is also an important part of the children's league. Summer camps were organized in border areas, and the backbone of children's groups gathered in the mountains for training. They learn how to shoot, stab people and lay mines. They also conduct training, air defense exercises and fire prevention exercises.
In order to improve the anti-"mopping-up" ability, the Children's League also organized the "Charge Month" activity, which called the children to live together every night, gathered urgently in the middle of the night, and backpacked through the forest.
Children's Day after the founding of New China
Starting from 1949, People's Republic of China (PRC) (PRC) officially designated June 1 day as International Children's Day.
