In pics: how Chinese celebrate Int'l Children's Day in the past

In this file photo taken on July 4, 2004, children seeking shelter from the summer heat play a card game in Hangzhou, east China's Zhejiang Province. As China celebrates the International Children's Day, there arises the occasion for grown-ups to think back over the joys of childhood. With the evolution of technology and lifestyle, children are exposed to a wider range of entertainment. Nevertheless, joy would remain a childhood motif no matter how its forms change with time.
