中国媒体常提到的节日 II 现代篇 之 其他节日/纪念日
（Days/Festivals often mentioned in Chinese Media, Part II, Contemporary Ones
   Other Special Days)


以下的特别节日，各自具备其社会和政治意义，每次到节日前夕或当天，媒体都会刊登“应景”的相关评论
The “Days” listed below are days with specific significance with either social or political touch.  When any of these days approaches, commentators would write something to reflect the presence of them.

１．植树节（三．一二）：愿为纪念孙中山先生去世的日子。评论作者多半会希望引起社会重视环境问题，特别是可耕地沙漠化（沙化）问题，毁林问题
        Tree Planting Day (March the 12th): Originally a day marking the death of Dr. Sun Yet-sen.  Writers would raise the awareness of environmental issues, especially desertification of arable lands and on-going deforestation.
２．消费者权益保护日（三．一五）：评论作者多半会提到消费者权益受损的事件，并希望引起社会重视消费者权益，也包括食品以及货品安全，以及山寨产品质量低劣等问题
         Consumers' Rights Day (March the 15th): Around this date, lots of commentating piece would focus on incidents of violation of consumers' rights, calling on the society to pay due attention to these problems, including food safety, product safety, and issues of poor quality in counterfeited goods.

３．地球日（四．二二）：这是联合国发起的活动，中国评论员也会希望利用这天来引起社会重视更广泛的环境问题：空气质量、饮用水的节约问题、水污染事件、跨国界环境问题、工业废弃物污染问题、民生废弃物污染问题
        International Earth Day (April the 22nd): This is a day in the year that the UN establishes for the world, and Chinese commentators would follow suit in calling the Chinese mass to pay greater attention to various environmental issues home and abroad: air quality, conservation of clean potable water, incidents of water pollution, trans-border environmental hazards, pollution by factory waste, pollution by living & human waste, etc.

４．抗战胜利纪念日（九．三）：这是一个充满政治色彩的日子，官方媒体一定会发表文章来纪念为战争捐躯的军民，也可能借机炒热民族情绪（若是中日矛盾加剧），而一般评论作者 则会希望引起社会重新审视中国在二战的经历和取得的教训；重申中国“备战而不畏战”的国防思想
        Victory Day (September the 3rd): This is a day filled with political significance, governmental  media would not miss the chance to issue commentary to commemorate the history in which lots of soldiers and civilians lost their lives (during the Anti-Japan War of 1937-1945), or even to heap up nationalist passion (in case of escalated Sino-Japan tension),  while other commentators also would wish to throw light back upon lessons to be drawn from this war taking place in China, emphasizing the current China's defensive philosophy in preparedness and fearlessness.


以上的特别日子所引起的讨论虽然都不太一样，但媒体评论文章有一个共同的评论点，那就是：
The views or discussions brought up by the "special days" above may vary from each other, there could be a shared view point by many commentators:

这些日子让人们特别注意某些问题，但这些日子一过，好像就“船过水无痕”了，（完全没发生过似的），得不到长期的关注，相关的政策也只停留在出台阶段，得不到落实。
As these days will remind people of some issues to look into, people seem to erase everything once these dates were passed, (all ripples vanish after the boat passes).  The sad thing is, the concerns are short-lived, and the policies fall short from enforcement.
