Hey there! Did you know that on January 24, Melbourne hosted a super exciting event to celebrate the Chinese Spring Festival? 🎉 The China Media Group (CMG) brought the ‘Prelude to the Spring Festival Gala’ all the way to Australia! It was an amazing day filled with music, culture, and new friendships.
The Spring Festival, also known as Chinese New Year, is one of the most important festivals in China. It’s a time when families come together, share delicious food, and wish for a happy and prosperous new year. 🧧✨ Mr. Shen Haixiong, the president of CMG, sent a special video message. He shared how the Spring Festival has grown from a Chinese celebration to a global party that everyone can enjoy! 🌏 In fact, it’s now recognized as a United Nations holiday and was added to UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage list last year. How cool is that?
At the event, artists from China and Australia teamed up to create beautiful music. They mixed Australian Aboriginal tunes with Chinese folk songs, showing how different cultures can come together to make something awesome! 🎶🥁 The audience got to watch CMG’s special video for the Spring Festival Gala, which is a huge show in China filled with performances and fun.
About 200 guests joined the celebration, including Victoria Governor Margaret Gardner and important people from both China and Australia. It was a fantastic day that showed the beauty of sharing cultures and making new friends! 🤗
This event in Melbourne was a perfect example of how the Spring Festival brings people together, no matter where they’re from. Maybe next year, you can join in the festivities too! 🎊
