父母放假的儿童节,是最快乐的儿童节A Children's Day with Parents around is the Happiest Children's Day ——在首尔街头过一个充满爱心的韩国儿童节—A Loving Children's Day Observed in Seoul

       走访了几个国家之后才发现,中国那些带有"国际"字眼的节,基本只有中国过。韩国的儿童节是五月五号,这天最实惠的地方是:公休一整天。家长们放假,难免任务缠身,要全力以赴给孩子们创造完美的一天,而我们这些还未造出人的大朋友就纯属沾光大歇了。
       记忆中,童年的儿童节,儿童们总是有很多任务,老早就要排练节目,31号那天自己为自己献上一场文艺演出。细数历年经历,我似乎是在繁忙地说相声、演小品中度过的,晚上到家,爸爸都会送上一个小蛋糕,。演了节目,吃了蛋糕,心满意足地就算过节了。
       初到韩国,当我对"儿童节大人也放假"表示极大的惊异时,韩国朋友对"儿童节大人不放假"表示了更大的惊异:"大人不放假,孩子们怎么过节?"现在,却越想越觉得有道理,毕竟在父母的关怀和陪伴下,儿童们才真的算是过节了吧。

After visiting a few countries, I finally realized that the festivals we called "international" are merely Chinese creations. The Children's Day in South Korea is on the fifth of May. The most attractive part of it is that all people can have the day off. The parents do not have to go to work so they can make their best to create a perfect holiday for their children. As to someone like me who haven't become a parent yet, we purely share the benefit of the day.

As far as I can remember, the Children's Day in my childhood was always full of tasks. We had to rehearse our performance long before the holiday, for a show staged on May 31st. After reviewing all my Children's Days I had in my childhood, I was found either performing crosstalk or acting out small sketches. In the evening back home, my father would give me a small cake as a gift. After the show and the cake, my Children's Day came to a "satisfactory" end.

When I first came to South Korea, I felt really surprised to know that grown-ups also celebrate the Children's Day and have this day off. My Korean friends felt even more surprised when they heard about our Children's Day in China, "How can children be guaranteed to have a good holiday when their parents still have to go to work?" Now, I think their practice is more reasonable. Actually, only with the care and company from the parents can children really celebrate their festival to their heart's content.
