Good time is always short-lived, childhood has inadvertently become the past. The future we look forward to is always too far away, and the road ahead for our dreams is still very long. On the coming of Children's Day, may we be 100% happy.

美好的事情总是太短暂，童年不经意间已成为过去；期待的未来总是太遥远，梦想要走的路还很长很长；儿童节到来之际，愿我们快乐百分百。

Childhood is a hymn of praiseInnocent, lively, and carefree.

Childhood is a fantasy song,Looking forward to the future full of hope.

童年是一首赞美诗，天真活泼无忧无虑

童年是一首幻想曲，遥想未来充满希望

回味儿时的天真

2024 Children’s Day

Laughing and making noise, bouncing and jumping. When we were children, our favorite thing was to run wildly on the streets after school. As we grow up, we love to watch children play together, searching for lingering childlike innocence. Today and every day, we should all be happy children. There is a sentence in "The Little Prince": "All adults used to be children, although only a few people remember."  So how can college students who love the festival miss International Children's Day?

笑笑闹闹，蹦蹦跳跳。儿时我们最爱放学后满街疯跑。长大后我们爱看小朋友们玩闹一起来寻找未泯的童心。今天和每天，我们都要做快乐小孩。《小王子》中有这样一句话：“所有的大人都曾经是小孩，虽然只有少数人记得。” 所以爱过节的大学生怎么能错过六一儿童节呢？

The psychological motivation of college students celebrating Children's Day mainly include releasing pressure, nostalgia, making up for childhood deficiencies, and seeking a self defined "me".

大学生过儿童节的心理动机主要包括需求压力释放、怀旧、弥补童年的缺失、以及寻求自我定义的“我”。

Release of demand pressure: Children's Day has become a way for college students to relieve stress when facing various pressure such as studying, living, and socializing. By celebrating Children's Day, college students can temporarily forget their worries and return to a carefree childhood state in order to relieve inner pressure. This psychological state is called "regression", which refers to the temporary return to a childlike state of psychological age, facing life with childlike mischief, curiosity, and passion for life.

需求压力释放：大学生在面对学习、生活、社交等多方面的压力时，儿童节成为了一个减压的途径。通过过儿童节，大学生可以暂时忘记烦恼，回归到无忧无虑的童年状态，以此来缓解内心的压力。这种心理状态被称为“退行”，即心理年龄的倒退，暂时回到孩童状态，以孩子般的调皮、好奇心和对生活的热情来面对生活。

Nostalgia: Celebrating Children's Day for college students is also a manifestation of nostalgia. They may want to make up for that deficiency as they grow up due to unhappy or unfortunate childhood experiences. By experiencing the joy of childhood on Children's Day such as amusement parks and carousels, college students try to rediscover the beautiful memories of childhood in order to alleviate their dissatisfaction and anxiety about the past.

怀旧：大学生过儿童节也是一种怀旧的表现。他们可能因为童年的不快乐或不幸，长大后想要弥补那一份缺失。通过在儿童节这一天体验童年的快乐，如游乐场、旋转木马等，大学生们试图找回童年的美好记忆，以此来缓解对过去的不满和焦虑。

Making up for the deficiencies in childhood: Freud believed that a person's entire life is repeating the psychological patterns of childhood, making up for the deficiencies in childhood. College students may want to make up for this lack of joy or happiness they didn't enjoy when they were young. As they grow up, they want to use Children's Day to make up for it.

弥补童年的缺失：弗洛伊德认为，人的一生都在重复童年的心理模式，弥补童年的缺失。大学生们可能因为小时候没有享受到的快乐或幸福，长大后想要通过儿童节来弥补这一份缺失感。

Seeking self definition: In a gradually solidified mindset, college students may lose their curiosity and courage, becoming uninteresting and silent. By celebrating Children's Day, they can temporarily avoid dissatisfied reality and return to a carefree childhood state, thus finding an undefined "me" in real life and rediscovering their passion and curiosity for life.

寻求自我定义的“我”：在逐渐固化的思维中，大学生们可能失去了好奇心和勇气，变得无趣和波澜不惊。通过过儿童节，他们可以暂时回避不满意的现实，让自己回归到无忧无虑的儿时状态，从而在现实生活中寻找一个不被定义的“我”，重新找回对生活的热情和好奇心。

In summary, the psychological motivations of college students for celebrating Children's Day are diverse, including nostalgia for the fantastic childhood and the desire to pursue simple happiness, as well as the avoidance of realistic pressures and exploration of self definition. This kind of behavior is the way of finding their most genuine pleasure in this noisy era.

综上所述，大学生过儿童节的心理动机是多元的，既包括了对童年美好时光的怀念和追求简单幸福的愿望，也包括了对现实压力的逃避和对自我定义的探索。这种行为是他们在这个喧闹的时代中寻找自己最本真乐趣的一种方式。
