China Radio International China Media Group (CMG) concluded the third rehearsal for the Spring Festival Gala, which will celebrate the Year of the Rabbit, on the 9th of this month.

Among the performances is the interpretation of the song "Hello, Strangers," which was produced exclusively for the Chinese New Year's Eve show. A snippet of the production quickly became a phenomenon after its publication on the new media platform of the Central Television news program on December 29th of last year, with over 60 million views. In the third rehearsal, the complete version of the song was released for the first time, featuring ordinary people whose stories moved the entire country. 

Celebrating traditional culture will also be a highlight of the Gala. Based on historical records and ancient architecture, the visual design team created images of legendary animals, combining tradition and the vitality of the era.  

In addition to artists and professionals, there will be no shortage of ordinary people who will perform shows inspired by real life.
