June 1 is International Children's Day!

It's a day set aside for our children.

In China, we have our own "big guy" who always cares about the little guys.

He once gave a speech giving his best wishes to all of China's children on this special day.

No matter how busy he is he makes time to be with China's children.

On the playground, in and outside the classroom, at home or abroad, we see this "big guy", sharing beautiful moments with us "little guys".

This "big guy", as you can guess, is President Xi Jinping.

Story 1: A caring father to his daughter

Xi Jinping is not only China's president but also a caring father to his daughter.

On the bookshelf in his office there's a picture of him and his little girl.

The picture shows him riding with her.

Talking about the father-daughter relationship, his wife Peng Liyuan said,

"Our daughter is very much like her father, and loves him very much. When she was little, she was naughty around me. But with her dad, she was always like a sweet little kitten."

Story 2: The "Haixiu (Shy)" Grandpa Xi

"Big guy" Xi Jinping is happy when he is around children.

In 2014, he spent time talking with some children in Fuzhou City.

Afterwards, 7 year old Zou Ruining wrote in her dairy, "Grandpa Xi is just too haixiu (shy)!"
