argumate:

Forty years since its first broadcast in 1983, the Spring Festival Gala can still steadily maintain such massive appeal among audiences. This very point shows the cultural significance the gala show has is world-class. A culturally influential modern nation should have its representative modern cultural products, one of which is the Spring Festival Gala that crystallizes the Chinese people’s spirit and creativity. Marks of China’s 40 years of national development and progress, as well as changes in every family, can be seen in the show. The annual Spring Festival Gala creates a warm collective memory for generations, becoming a common Chinese New Year custom for all Chinese people and a unique, mega-scale cultural phenomenon in the world.

More and more people worldwide are getting to know the Spring Festival Gala. Behind the show is the overall rise of Chinese culture’s international influence and China’s national strength. In its unique way, the Spring Festival Gala remembers, inherits, and promotes every spiritual spark in our nation and every footprint that we as a nation have walked on this long and hard journey.

I love this because the spring festival gala is rubbish
