1.      Did you celebrate Children’s Day when you were a child? If so, how did you usually spend it?

Yes, when I was in elementary school, June 1st was the day when the school held the sport meeting. All students should participate in it as sporters or audience.

2.      What is the most unforgettable Children’s Day gift you have ever received, and why does it stand out?

No gift. Because in elementary school, the time was used to hold sports meeting. And when I was in junior high school, we didn't spend it because we were not pupils.

3.      Can you describe a traditional game or outdoor activity that you loved playing as a child? Is it still popular among children today?

Sandbag Battle: several boys and girls throw a small square sandbag.

But I don't know if it is still popular among children.

4.      How do you think the way modern children play and celebrate holidays differs from the way you did when you were young?

No, they're still organized.
