Anyone can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a dad, and that’s why I call you dad, because you are so special to me. — Wade Boggs
Taiwanese Father’s Day, celebrated on August 8th every year!
The holiday originated after World War II. The Republic of China government wanted to celebrate the soldiers who sacrificed their lives to make Taiwan better, especially those who were honor fathers. They chose that date because in Chinese August 8 can be shortened to 'eight eight', which sounds similar to the informal word for father (baba).
