What is the origin of children's day? Pay attention to the significance of children's day

Three or four days are children's day. Besides the Spring Festival, I think children's expectation is children's day. Children's gifts will be received on children's day, and there will be activities to celebrate the day. June 1 is children's day every year, but who knows the origin of children's day? Let's look at the origin of children's day.

Children's Day

The establishment of today's "June 1 International Children's Day" is related to an incident called the "liditzer tragedy" during World War II. On June 10, 1942, German fascists shot and killed more than 140 male citizens over the age of 16 and all infants in Lidice village, Czech Republic, and escorted women and 90 children to the concentration camp. The houses and buildings in the village were burned down, and a good village was destroyed by German fascists. In addition, after the end of World War II, the world economy was depressed, and people's living standards were very low. Especially children died one after another due to diseases and other reasons, which was very tragic.

Therefore, in order to mourn the liditzer tragedy and all the children killed in the war all over the world and protect children's rights, in November 1949, the International Federation of democratic women held a council meeting in Moscow and decided to take June 1 every year as the international children's day.

Significance of children's Day

After reading the origin of children's day, I found that children's Day is not a happy festival. Children's Day is a festival established to protect children's rights to survival, health care, education and custody all over the world, to improve children's lives and to oppose child abuse and poisoning. At present, many countries in the world regard June 1 as children's day. Children's Day is not only a Chinese festival, but also an international festival.
