Appreciate the beautiful faces of children on this page as China Daily Sunday edition remembers them in a very special way.
China, like many other countries, celebrated International Children's Day on June 1, which was a holiday for school children. Various activities were held across the country ranging from toy fairs to drawing contests and camping. The occasion is celebrated on various days in different countries. It is observed not only as a day of celebrations, but also as a day devoted to promoting the welfare of children throughout the world. Even in the most desperate corners, people have shown astonishing determination and nurtured high aspirations for children.
