Youth Day (China)

Well-known figures such as Liang Qichao and Cai Yuanpei published articles speaking highly of the student demonstrations.

Mao Zedong wrote an article praising the May Fourth Movement, and the same year, the Republic of China government designated May 4 as Youth Day.

[3] In 1940 or 1943, the KMT government moved Youth Day to March 29 to commemorate the martyrs of the Yellow Flower Mound Uprising.

[5][3] Despite this change in official status, many young people continued to celebrate May 4 as Youth Day with a variety of activities at universities throughout the country.

[8] In 1994, Youth Day was identified by the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party as one of several holidays for local governments to use for patriotic education.
