Wiki knows thingssurprise:

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Father%27s_Day

People's Republic of China[edit]

In People's Republic of China, the official Father's Day is celebrated on the third Sunday of June and is not a public holiday. This date was set according to international norms.

Prior to the People's Republic, when the Republic of China (1912-1949) governed from Nanjing, Father's Day was celebrated on August 8. This was determined by the fact that the eighth (ba) day of the eighth (ba) month makes two "eights" (八八, ba-ba), which sounds similar to the colloquial word for "daddy" (ba-ba,爸爸). It is still celebrated on this date in areas still under the control of the Republic of China, including in Taiwan.

Did you celebrate Children's Day back home? Or QingMing day?

 

There's no logical reason why they should - Father's Day isn't really an international celebration... Buy why they'd flock to Christmas, Valentines day and others is a mystery, best explained by a) money, and b) TIC.

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
