(25-28)        On Teachers’ Day, we thank our teachers for their hard work. We also celebratethis day to remember Confucius, the great Chinese teacher from 2,500 years ago.Well, that’s everything we’re taught about Teachers’ Day. But, the first Teachers’Day was not on Confucius’s birthday, and it was not about thanking our teachers.        In 1930, Mr. Tai Shuang-qiu and other teachers celebrated the first Teachers’Day in Nanjing. But there was nothing to celebrate. Teachers were paid very littleand not respected. These teachers took this chance to shout out their problems. Theyhad Teachers’ Day on June 6 because the date was easy to remember and near theend of the school year. This action by Mr. Tai and the other teachers was welcomedand followed by teachers from other cities. In 1939, the government made Teachers’Day a national holiday. However, it was on August 27, the day when Confucius’sbirthday was celebrated. Not everyone    hailed    this decision: Teachers’ Day was neverabout Confucius, and Confucius couldn’t speak for all the teachers either.        One funny thing was that the government was wrong about the date ofConfucius’s birthday. In 1952, people found out he was in fact born on September28. That was when we started to celebrate Teachers’ Day on Confucius’s realbirthday.
