Tips

history
停战日 refers to November 11, 1918 — the day the Armistice ended fighting on the Western Front of World War I at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. In Commonwealth countries it became Remembrance Day; in the US it was renamed Veterans Day in 1954.
culture
The red poppy worn on 停战日 comes from the poem 'In Flanders Fields' (1915). The flower bloomed across battlefield graves, and the symbol was adopted by veterans' charities across the English-speaking world.
