When is Father’s Day in China?
Interestingly in Chinese culture, whilst Father’s Day isn’t as widely celebrated as it once was, we do celebrate it in line with the rest of the world on the third Sunday of June. But that wasn’t always the case…
During World War II, the Chinese Government wanted to celebrate our soldiers who’d passed away and honour Fathers who had and hadn’t served. They chose August 8th as the date to celebrate this occasion because that date can actually be shortened to “bā bā” (八八 ‘eight eight’), which sounds very similar to the informal word for father (爸爸, bàba).
Whilst this tradition has waned over the years in mainland China and any who do celebrate it now tend to celebrate Father’s Day in line with the rest of the world on the third Sunday in June. The original date is still celebrated to this day in Taiwan. Whilst not an official holiday, residents of Taiwan often take their dad out for a meal, give him gifts or at least give him a phone call to catch up.
