Every May 8, the world unites to celebrate the power of a simple smile. In 1948, the International Red Cross designated this day as World Red Cross and Red Crescent Day, marking the birthday of Henry Dunant.
That same year, the World Federation for Mental Health declared May 8 as World Smile Day, turning it into a symbol of hope and kindness. This dual celebration reminds us that even a small smile can inspire great change.
Today, children from different parts of the Chinese mainland are lighting up their communities with bright, joyful smiles. Their happiness uplifts everyone around them and spreads warmth and unity.
So, keep smiling and join the celebration! After all, a smile is a universal language that connects us all. 😊✨
