2024 Spring Festival Gala: A fusion of tradition and innovation captivates millions worldwide

This year's Spring Festival Gala, an annual celebration produced and broadcast by China Media Group (CMG), unfolded on the eve of the Chinese New Year on Friday evening. As China's most-watched TV program, the gala has been an annual tradition since its first broadcast in 1983. This year, the gala showcased a mix of performances, from music, comedy and traditional arts like opera and martial arts to spectacular acts such as magic and acrobatics. It also incorporated cutting-edge technologies like extended reality (XR) and immersive stage interaction technologies to enhance the viewing experience.

Only in China can they come up with such spectacular shows. Bravo China! Your people are really amazing and with such long, rich, ancient, and enduring history, culture, and tradition. The world can and has a lot to learn from you.

[@blueskyonsummer]

Unfortunatly, China hasn't freedom of thought, faith and expression. Art is beautiful, but is not enought.

[@williamwilliam]

@@blueskyonsummer You are so out of touch with and so misinformed about the REAL China.

[@kikofellini1812]

​@@blueskyonsummergenau meine Meinung!!

[@Coco762011]

I still prefer the Shenyun dance troupe, based in the US

[@Vigilante574]

@blueskyonsummer....no freedom no freedom bla bla bla..the common babbling of western suckers...🤣🤣🤣🤣get lost...

[@haniahannslew4108]

OMG! The acrobat and the lucky fish dance combining with technology are brilliant. They have put in lots of painful practices to have this perfect execution and beautiful show. Thank you very much for the brilliant shows. The Hanfu dresses are so beautiful and elegant. The drum in the opening show is so awesome powerful energy and the cute kid costumes with dragon head…. Those baby ducks are so cute trying to be swans. All kids and theirs costumes in this Spring Festival Gala are so adorable 🥰 This year’s Spring Festival Gala is 💯 so beautiful brilliant magnificent. Thank you to all for putting up this wonderful Spring Festival Gala show. 🙏

China is much stronger than the United States in uniting humanity and pursuing happiness!

This is an amazing show and the best show on the planet. This is so much better than superbowl halftime show.

[@wongcw08]

What is the Superbowl Halftime show? Thanks.

[@peterwilliams7335]

@@wongcw08 American football match that takes place annually. It is supposedly big sport event in the US and they make it sounds like a world event even no other countries play football. Anyway, there is alway celebrities put up a big show. Too me, the show is big but boring and trashy,
