Why Children's Day and not Adults' Day?

It is important to understand how Children's Day came about

There are various theories about the origin of Children's Day, the most widely circulated of which is the June 10, 1942 Lidice tragedy.

In June 1942, German fascists shot more than 140 male citizens over the age of 16 and all infants in the Czech village of Lidice, and took the women and 90 children to a concentration camp. The houses in the village were burned down and all belongings were looted. In order to pay tribute to the memory of the village of Lidice and all the children who died in the fascist war of aggression all over the world, and to oppose the cruelty of the imperialist war-mongers, the Women's International Democratic Federation (WIDF) held a council meeting in Moscow in November 1949, at which the representatives of China and other countries angrily exposed the crimes of the imperialists and reactionaries of various countries who had brutally killed and gassed children. The conference decided to adopt June 1 every year as International Children's Day.

In fact, China has been celebrating June 1 Children's Day since the founding of the country in 1949, but the original purpose at the time was to publicize the founding of the new China and to show the world that the new China was on the rise. It wasn't until June 1, 1976, that Chinese President Liu Shaoqi put forward the idea of "Let's **** together to celebrate the children's day". Since then, June 1 Children's Day has become a traditional holiday for Chinese children.
