Forever a Child @ Heart

No matter what you are,

a child, a teenager, an adult, a parent or a grandparent...

Happy Children's Day!

For we all have once been children, and we all have children around in our lives.

Let's celebrate with a youthful heart,

Recollecting  our childhood memories, 

Playing with our junior friends,

Or...

Just dip ourselves in a childlike day on JUNE 1ST!

June 1st is international Children's Day, although I don't think every countries actually  celebrate it as a confirmed holiday or on the same date. Children's Day and my birthday used to be the two days I looked forward to the most in a year when i was a child. I grew up in China. I remember before I turned 12, my parents celebrated Children's Day for me every year. They always bought me gifts, dressed me nicely and took me out, sometimes along with my friends too, somewhere special to have fun. Particularly, elementary school kids get the entire day off on that day, and schools usually held Children's Day performance and activities in late May.(it is no exaggeration to say that they do everything to celebrate this holiday.) I've only danced once in my life and I got kicked out a few days before the performance... well it's okay, my drawings are on the school shows every year, and sometimes writings too... the last time I drew with a bunch of kids on a super long white fabric for the art show was such a long time a go. 8 years?wow, can't believe it.
Yeah, not only some parents take a day off from work on that day to spend time with their kids, schools and communities are doing nice things too such as dinners/parties, TV programs etc. (yeah, I was on a TV show one year:D)

Since 1925, International Children's Day was proclaimed, I believe children's rights and wellbeing have been widely spread and accepted in the world.

I started to miss Children's Day after the June 1st in grade seven, a very short in class celebration in junior high, which was supposed to be our last year of Children's Day. And then we became youth.
I will become an adult soon next year.
Growing up is not bad at all.

Well, on this day, I would like to thank my parents for all they did on Children's Day when I was a child.
Wish everyone stay young at heart.

LOUD LAUGHTERS and FREE HAPPINESS.
