May 4th is Youth Day, a festival to promote the spirit of May 4th. May Fourth Youth Day, a festival in the early years of the Republic of China and the People's Republic of China, was established to commemorate the May Fourth Movement that broke out on May 4, 1919.


During the Youth Day, various commemorative activities are held all over China.

Young people also focus on various social volunteer and social practice activities, and many places hold coming-of-age ceremonies during the Youth Day. The core content of the May Fourth Spirit is "patriotism, progress, democracy and science".

The May Fourth Movement was the end of the old democratic revolution and the beginning of the new democratic revolution in China, and the Chinese revolution has since entered a new historical period.
