Father's Day is a festival originated in the United States. It is the third Sunday in June every year. Father's day in 2019 is June 16.

Origin of Chinese father's Day
On August 6, 1945, Shanghai Shenbao published an article "the origin of August 8 father's Day". The article said: the United States initiated the creation of mother's day to commemorate the wives and mothers of the soldiers killed in the European war.
Now, China should also launch its own father's day. Because the shape of "father" is the same as that of "August 8", and the pronunciation of "August 8" is also the same as that of "father", Shanghai citizens are called on to celebrate "August 8 father's Day".
At that time, although the defeat of the Japanese army was decided, it had not yet surrendered, and Shanghai was still under its control. This initiative "secretly expressed the intention of missing the motherland", which was really risky.
At the end of the article, there are 10 publicly signed initiators, namely Yan Huiqing, Yuan Xilian, Chen Qingshi, Mei Lanfang, Shi fufu, Yan Duhe, Fei Mu, Lu Ganchen, Fu wenshou and Zhang Yiqu.
The above-mentioned people are celebrities. Although they have been in the enemy occupied areas for a long time, they still have the ambition of patriotism. For example, in the Beiyang era, Yan Huiqing served as the chief of foreign affairs and acting prime minister. In December 1941, Hong Kong fell and was held by the Japanese army. The following year, he was forced to return to Shanghai and insisted on not taking any official posts in the Wang puppet government.
The 'father's Day' activity launched by the people in 1945 has a limited scope of influence. By May 1946, dozens of Shanghai celebrities such as pan gongzhan, Li Shizeng, song Hanzhang, Wang Xiaolai, Du Yuesheng, Wu Zhihui, Li Denghui (former president of Fudan University) and Qian Yongming jointly requested that August 8 be designated as' father's Day 'every year.
