Hey there, friends! 👋 Did you know that one of the biggest Chinese celebrations just kicked off in Brazil? 🎉
On January 22, the China Media Group (CMG) hosted a super exciting event called the “Prelude to the Spring Festival Gala” in Sao Paulo! 🇧🇷
But wait, what’s the Spring Festival? 🤔 It’s also known as the Chinese New Year, and it’s the most important holiday in China! Imagine a big party that lasts for days with lots of delicious food, fireworks, and family fun! 🧨🎆
Shen Haixiong, a very important person from CMG, sent a video message to everyone. He talked about how the Spring Festival isn’t just a Chinese celebration anymore—it’s becoming a global party that people everywhere can enjoy! 🌍🎊
In fact, did you know the United Nations now recognizes the Spring Festival as an official holiday? And last year, it was added to UNESCO’s list of Intangible Cultural Heritage, which is like a special collection of the world’s coolest traditions! 🏅🌟
Over 200 guests from all over Brazil came to the event, including people from politics, schools, and media. They all gathered to celebrate and learn about Chinese culture. How awesome is that? 🤩
The event also featured a super cool promotional video for CMG’s Spring Festival Gala (that’s like a big TV show in China for the New Year), and they showed it on a giant screen on Paulista Avenue, which is Sao Paulo’s most famous street! Imagine walking down the street and seeing that! 😮🎥
It’s so exciting to see different countries sharing their traditions and cultures. Maybe next time, you can join in the Spring Festival fun, too! 🥳
So, happy Spring Festival, everyone! 新年快乐 (That’s “Happy New Year” in Chinese)! 🐇🎉
