Happy Father's Day

Someone said, "A father's shoulders are the closest to the stars." 

They carry a heavy burden, picking up their livelihood on one end and their dreams on the other. No matter the wind and the sun, or the cold and the heat, they move forward firmly, never surrendering to the coarse reality. Knowing their responsibilities, taking responsibility and doing their best, they carry the weight and provide the closest role models for children. Hats off to them, help them share the burden, hard work!

Origin of Father's Day

In 1924 U.S. President Coolidge expressed support for the proposal to establish a national Father's Day, and in 1966 President Johnson signed a presidential proclamation declaring the third Sunday in June of that year as Father's Day in the U.S. In 1972 U.S. President Nixon signed an official document designating the third Sunday in June each year as Father's Day for the entire United States and making it a permanent observance in the United States.

China does not officially have an official Father's Day. However, people in China customarily use the third Sunday in June as Father's Day.
