When is the real Father's Day in China?

The real Father's Day in China is on August 8th of the Gregorian calendar every year.

Father's Day in China has profound cultural connotation and historical significance. It was formally established earlier than in the United States. Father's Day in China, also known as "August 8th Festival" and homophonic "Father's Day", was officially announced by the state on 1945, becoming the first country in the world to formally establish Father's Day.

In the thirty-fourth year of the Republic of China (1945), celebrities and gentry from all walks of life in Shanghai jointly requested the Shanghai municipal government to transmit it to the government of the Republic of China, and designated August 8 as the national Father's Day. August 8th is designated as Father's Day of China people because the word "father" of father is the superposition of two deformed characters, which conforms to the cultural tradition of China people and is recognized by most people.
