On February 14, the China Central Radio and Television Station's "2026 Spring Festival Gala" successfully completed its fifth rehearsal. Creative programs, singing and dancing, acrobatics, opera, martial arts, sketches, magic and other types of programs were all on display, creating a strong auspicious and festive atmosphere. The main venue and the four branch venues are connected naturally and smoothly. At this point, this "cultural New Year's Eve dinner", which conveys happiness and beauty in reunions and joyful gatherings, is ready and will accompany Chinese people around the world and overseas friends to celebrate the New Year happily.
My heart is at peace and my love is deep and lasting
Go home, take the most familiar road, and go to the warmest appointment. Li Jian used a song "Human Resonance" to gently lift up the gratitude accumulated over the years and tell the precious moments of similar experiences and connected hearts in the vast sea of people. Ren Suxi and Mao Buyi sang the song "Goodbye and You Are Well", sending their greetings for reunion after a long separation with warm and healing singing. "The Moment You and I Experience" brought by Faye Wong uses a clear and ethereal singing voice to express the fate of people meeting and knowing each other and the warmth that illuminates each other in a century-long river. American singer John Legend and French singer Hélène Rollès jointly presented "Love Suite", a classic and moving melody with unswerving affection.
The whole family sat around and laughed. Cai Ming continued his relationship with "robots" after 30 years. The sketch "Grandma's Favorite" tells the story of the tender care and concern between the grandfather and grandson in the joyful interaction. The comedy short "You Gotta Like It" humorously depicts a young couple immersed in "swiping their mobile phones", from a situation where it is difficult to control themselves to being rational and independent. It uses laughter close to life to trigger thinking about the "interesting" and "meaningful" aspects of social media products. The magic show uses familiar props in life, inviting the audience to participate together, and jointly freeze a New Year surprise that "we are together in the world at this time".
Vigor and vitality welcome the new beginning
During the New Year, we set off with the vigor of a prancing horse and a whip, showing the rising power of the north and south of the country. Follow the beating rhythm and say "Congratulations, Congratulations" to each other; accompanied by the melody of "Happiness Comes to Your Hands", welcome the good luck and good fortune. Aaron Kwok and Wang Yibo collaborated on the song "Shine and Move", which brings everyone full of energy in dynamic rhythms and cool street dances, and embraces a better life in a full state.
Glistening workers gathered on the stage, glowing with confidence. The micro-musical "Every Light" invites representatives of the winners of the World Skills Competition to sing on stage, showing the confident style of "three hundred and sixty lines, and the best in every line". The song "Building the Future Intelligently" integrates cutting-edge technological elements such as VR glasses, Beidou navigation, and drones into a futuristic song and dance arrangement. Jordan Chan, Jerry Yan, Luo Jiahao, and Yi Yangqianxi sang the pride of going from Made in China to Made in China Intelligently. The song "Searching for Dreams in Mountains and Seas" pays tribute to all Chinese people who are hardworking, enterprising, hardworking and dedicated, and welcomes a new spring with joyful hearts and successful careers.
The four branch venues used warm emotions and unique expressions to spread the vitality of China into a broad New Year picture. The audience stayed at the Harbin branch venue in Heilongjiang and enjoyed the fiery Chinese New Year in the ice and snow; in the Yiwu branch venue in Zhejiang, they felt the atmosphere of sharing their own beauty with Chinese and foreign singing and dancing; the Huangmei opera and ink painting at the Hefei branch in Anhui brought a beautiful picture of "Wan" to the audience; the hot and intangible cultural heritage elements at the Yibin branch in Sichuan expressed the spirit of forging ahead courageously.
Thousands of houses are illuminated with lights and singing to welcome the New Year. Meet at 8 pm on February 16, China Central Radio and Television’s "2026 Spring Festival Gala" will accompany you to celebrate the New Year happily!
