Children can run, laugh, and explore the world with curiosity without restraint because they have not yet been domesticated by society's rules. Their happiness is pure, free from utilitarianism, anxiety, or calculation.

　　Adults who celebrate Children's Day are, to some extent, seeking this “unrestricted power.“ The fatigue of work, the pressure of mortgages, and the complexity of social relationships have caused many to lose the ability to be happy without reason. Therefore, they choose to “run wild“ on Children's Day—white-collar workers blowing bubbles in the break room or heading straight to the arcade after work are not escaping adulthood but following life's primal directives.

　　“Life is about making a big fuss and then quietly leaving.“ ——Jin Yong

　　Jin Yong's words, perhaps not specifically referring to childhood, unexpectedly resonate with adults' longing for “childlike innocence.“ Children can “make a big fuss“ without any reservations—rolling in the mud, using sticks as swords. Adults are always expected to be “dignified“ and “steady,“ even having to consider the occasion before laughing heartily.

　　Thus, Children's Day has become an excuse for adults to “legally make a fuss,“ with some people going to amusement parks together to ride the carousel and others organizing “nostalgic snack sharing sessions“ at their companies. This “making a fuss“ is not willfulness but a brief return to the true state of life.

　　“All adults were once children, though few remember it.“ ——“The Little Prince“
