The origin of Chinese father's Day

Father's Day is not a festival of "Polai". China also has its own father's day. The origin of father's day in China can be traced back to the period of the Republic of China. On August 8, 1945, Shanghai launched an activity to celebrate father's day. The citizens immediately responded. After the victory of the Anti Japanese War, celebrities from all walks of life in Shanghai joined hands to ask the Shanghai municipal government to submit it to the central government to appoint "father" The homophonic August 8 is the National Father's day. On father's day, people wear flowers to express their respect and yearning for their father.

On August 6, 1945, Shanghai Shenbao published the article "the origin of father's day on August 8". The article said: in order to commemorate the wives and mothers of those who died in the European war, the United States initiated the establishment of mother's day. Now, China should also launch its own father's day. Because the character of "father" is the same as that of "Baba", and the pronunciation of "Baba" is the same as that of "Dad", Shanghai citizens are called on to celebrate "Baba father's Day" together. At that time, although the Japanese army was doomed to defeat, it had not yet surrendered, and Shanghai was still under its control. This initiative "secretly expressed nostalgia for the motherland" was really risky. At the end of the article, there are 10 initiators who signed their names publicly, including Yan Huiqing, Yuan Xilian, Chen Qingshi, Mei Lanfang, Shi Chengfu, Yan Duhe, Fei Mu, Lu Ganchen, Fu wenshou and Zhang Yiqu.

The above-mentioned people are all celebrities. Although they have been in the enemy occupied areas for a long time, their patriotism still exists. For example, in the Beiyang era, Yan Huiqing served as the foreign minister and acting prime minister. In December 1941, Hong Kong was occupied by the Japanese army, and he was forced to return to Shanghai the next year, insisting that he would not take any official position in the Wang puppet government.

The "father's Day" activity launched by the people in 1945 had a limited influence. By May 1946, a group of Shanghai celebrities pan gongzhan, Li Shizeng, song Hanzhang, Wang Xiaolai, Du Yuesheng, Wu Zhihui, Li Denghui (former president of Fudan University) and Qian Yongming had jointly asked the national government to set August 8 as father's day. The reason is that

"In the eight years of Anti Japanese War, China finally won the final victory. In these eight years, countless soldiers were killed. The loyalty and bravery of this generation of soldiers, who went forward one after another and killed the enemy, was the result of their father's daily education and encouragement at any time. Therefore, father's influence on the victory of the Anti Japanese war was very great. Recalling that after the first World War, Ms. gawairan of the United States launched mother's day to commemorate the wives and mothers of the soldiers who died in the European war, because they had made great contributions to the country; we should follow the precedent, stipulate father's day, and at the same time commemorate the fathers and brothers of the soldiers who died in the war, because they also had a great influence on the country, so that the father and mother can share their glory. '

The request was approved by the national government. Every year, August 8 becomes a national statutory father's day. On this day, children wear flowers to commemorate -- those whose fathers are alive wear red flowers; those who are dead wear white flowers. ④ The related promotion work also started later. For example, as one of the initiators of father's day, on August 7, 1946, Yan Huiqing was invited to give a speech on father's day at the YMCA, saying that he talked 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 respect and love for our parents. When our mother takes care of us, our father is also trying to play the role that God has given him. When we are trying to think about what kind of gifts we should buy for our father, we might as well reflect on whether we love our father or not. Like him, we have worked for him We are selfless to pay for life.
