Teacher's Day
September 10th is Teacher's Day which has been celebrated by China since 1931 when it was founded at National Central University. It was suspended in the 1950's but was revived again in 1985 by the National People's Congress in honor of teachers for their hard work and to reverse the anti-intellectual sentiment that was nurtured during the Cultural Revolution. It is one of three holidays for professionals.
