Saint-Exupéry's words have almost become the best defense for adults celebrating Children's Day. We were all children once, but society has trained us into “qualified adults.“ Yet there are always moments—such as seeing a rainbow, hearing a familiar cartoon theme song, or smelling the candy from childhood—when that forgotten child suddenly emerges, flooding the heart with beautiful memories.
Children's Day is the day when adults collectively “remember that they were once children.“
“Children see straight, without detours.“ ——Feng Zikai
In the adult world, we are accustomed to expressing ourselves in a roundabout way and to guessing others' thoughts. But on Children's Day, we can break this mold. When gathering with friends, we can finally unleash our emotions—laughing freely when happy and pouring out our sorrows when sad.
“From the balloon vendor, every child takes away a wish.“ ——Bei Dao
Bei Dao's poem captures the most touching traits of childhood - a light - hearted anticipation for the world. In this fast-paced world, maintaining a childlike heart means still being curious about the stars and willing to stop for a beautiful cloud. Adults celebrating Children's Day is a “romantic resistance“ against dullness and numbness.The dreams of adults that have been compressed by reality and the romance bound by rules will briefly awaken in the joyful atmosphere of Children's Day.
Quoting these aphorisms is not to justify “acting young,“ but to demonstrate that innocence is not about age, but a choice. This June 1st, claim your right to celebrate. Because nurturing the child within is the ultimate adulting.
