Mother's Day is celebrated on May 12th in English. This day is set aside to honor mothers and highlight the importance of motherly love. In China, Mother's Day has become an informal tradition, and currently, the second Sunday of May is universally recognized as a public holiday to celebrate mothers. Liu Hanqiu, a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, once proposed the creation of a Chinese Mother's Day and suggested that Mencius' mother, Meng Zi, could be a representative figure for this day. Four core initiating organizations, including the Shijiazhuang City Primary and Secondary School Students' Comprehensive Practical Activity Base, officially established the "Chinese Mother's Day Promotion Association." They determined that the second day of the fourth lunar month, which is the day Meng Zi was born, would be celebrated as the Chinese Mother's Day. Additionally, they planned a series of events to mark the first Chinese Mother's Day. The mother's day currently popular around the world falls on the second Sunday of May, which was first established in the United States. The modern version of Mother's Day originated in the United States and is observed annually on the second Sunday of May.
