Mother's Day is celebrated on May 12th in English, signifying a day to honor mothers and extol the virtues of motherly love. In China, this holiday has become a widely observed tradition. Nowadays, the second Sunday of May has officially been recognized as Mother's Day, a day that is universally celebrated by the public. Li Hanqiu, a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, once proposed the establishment of a Chinese Mother's Day in his article "Proposal for the Creation of China's Mother's Day," suggesting that Mencius' mother, Meng Zi, be represented as the symbol of China's Mother's Day. The Shijiazhuang City Out-of-school Comprehensive Practice Base, Bixi QI, and four other core initiating units of the "Mother's Day" movement officially established the "Chinese Mother's Day Promotion Association." They determined to designate the second day of the fourth lunar month, the day Meng Zi was born, as the Chinese Mother's Day and decided to hold a series of commemorative activities upon the inaugural celebration of the Chinese Mother's Day. The currently observed Mother's Day globally is 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 celebrated annually on the second Sunday of May.
