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

In this file photo issued on July 6, 1963, girls play Chinese jump rope in east China's Shanghai. 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.
