It seems that there are lots of people in this forum who don't understand why we observe Remembrance Day. They are very confused or ashamed of wearing a poppy in November to show their respect and appreciation to those who died for the country. I believe the meaning behind the tradition of Remembrance Day need to be clarified.
Why is the Remembrance Day observed on the 11th of November at 11 oclock? Remembrance Day is observed at this allotted time is because it is the day when the first World War officially ended in 1918. We wear a poppy to commemorate those who lost their lives to protect their country, including those brave soldiers who died for us in different wars in the history of China. We are not talking about politics, we are showing respects to people who died in the wars.
We wear a poppy is not because we try to say that we are proud of being part of the wars. On the contrary, we wear a poppy to remind ourselves how important and valuable World Peace is. We are try to remind people how important life is and conflicts can be resolved through negotiations. We should recognize the differences existing in all nations and traditions so that we can accept those differences and appreciate the " rainbow" we have in the world.
Nobody should feel ashamed of wearing a poppy because it shows the rest of the community that we care about world peace and we won't forget those pains and lost happened in the wars and we will try our best to make our world a peaceful world for the current and next generation.
We need to come out of the restricted thinking circle and look out of the box where you can see the beautiful rainbow with multiple colours. If you can accept only one colour, I do believe living in a multi-coloured country is a pain at ass for you.
