Spring's song across continents

On Sunday, the China Media Group wrapped up the fourth rehearsal of its highly anticipated 2026 Spring Festival Gala.

One of the most-watched TV shows in the country, the gala promises a dazzling display of cultural innovation, blending time-honored Chinese traditions with cross-border artistic collaboration. The performances are filled with creativity and joy, radiating festive warmth as audiences around the world prepare to welcome Spring Festival.

One of the standout moments is the song Li Chun (The Arrival of Spring), whose soft, flowing melody evokes images of spring rain falling from rooftops and seeds sprouting from the earth. This poetic imagery powerfully symbolizes the renewal of life, conveying the vitality of nature and the promise of a season filled with growth and light.
