1949165438+10 In October, the Council of the International Democratic Women's Federation was held in Moscow, and representatives from China and other countries angrily exposed the crimes committed by imperialists and reactionaries in various countries in killing and poisoning children.

The meeting decided to take June 1 day every year as International Children's Day. It is a festival set up to protect children's rights of survival, health, education and guardianship, improve children's lives and oppose child abuse and poisoning. Many countries in the world have designated June 1 as Children's Day.

Pigeons symbolize peace, which has become the common sense of people on earth. Pigeons are always indispensable in major celebrations. People fly pigeons to express their joy and hope for peace.

Pigeons with beautiful images and gentle temperament are the darlings of eastern and western cultures. Western culture regards pigeons as a symbol of peace, friendship and equality, while China culture regards pigeons as a symbol of faith and family harmony.
