May 4th, China Youth Day

May 4th is the China Youth Day, which was established in December 1949 by the Government Administration Council to commemorate the beginning of the May Fourth Movement.

May 4th is also Peking University (http://english.pku.edu.cn/)’s Anniversary, because Peking University students, representatives of college students of Beijing, held demonstrations on May 4, 1919, and became the initiator of the “May 4th Movement”. Beida is short for Peking University in Chinese.
