Development of Mother's Day in Wangershan, Yingkou, China
Mother's Day was introduced to the mainland after it became popular in Chinese mainland, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. Precious jewels, carnations symbolizing maternal love, special love desserts and exquisite handmade greeting cards have all become loving gifts for mothers. In 1980s, Mother's Day was gradually accepted by China people. Starting from 1988, some southern cities such as Guangzhou began to hold mother's day celebrations, and "good mother" was selected as one of the contents. At the end of the 20th century, with the international integration of China, Mother's Day became more and more popular in Chinese mainland, and more and more people began to accept the concept of Mother's Day. On the second Sunday of May every year, people in China and other countries in the world express their gratitude to their mothers in various ways. Mother's Day, which respects mothers and promotes maternal love, has become an established festival in China. Now, Mother's Day on the second Sunday in May every year has become a public holiday.
