Chinese Youth Day falls on May 4 every year. It comes from the great May Fourth Movement and carries the spirit of patriotism (爱国精神) and progress. Young people aged 14 to 28 can enjoy a half-day holiday on this special day to relax and take part in different activities.
Nowadays, people celebrate this festival in rich and colorful ways across the country. Many schools and youth groups organize meaningful social practice and volunteer activities. Young volunteers often go to nursing homes to help the elderly or assist traffic workers on busy roads to keep order.
