The United Nations "Language Day" was initiated and hosted by the United Nations Department of Public Information on the "International Mother Language Day" on February 21, 2010, aiming to promote cultural diversity and equal use of the six official languages ??(English, French, Russian, Spanish, Arabic and Chinese). Among them, "Chinese Language Day" is scheduled for April 20 to commemorate Cangjie, the founder of Chinese characters.
2. World Marijuana Day
In 1971, a group of students from San Rafael High School in the United States made an appointment to smoke marijuana in front of the school’s statue of Louis Pasteur at 4:20. Since then, April 20 has become International Cannabis Day, kicking off the movement to legalize cannabis.
3. Expression of Love Festival
The "912 Expression of Love Festival" is an online festival initiated by netizens after the "520 Internet Valentine's Day".
