It takes place every year on January 2, the day after the New Year’s Day. At the beginning of a new year, we create such a festival in order to call for peace, to make the world a better place for everyone. People have to learn about foreign countries on that day. The TVs and newspapers will be all about foreign countries. And people are asked to eat foreign food on that day. And they are asked to talk about peace with their families, friends, and so on.
