The Republic of China government needed to commend the warriors who kicked the bucket and honor fathers. They picked that date in light of the fact that in Chinese August 8 can be abbreviated to “bā bā” (八八 ‘eight’). This sounds like the casual word for father (爸爸, bàba). This custom dropped off in the Chinese central area, however was gone on in Taiwan under the Republic of China government.
