Many celebrities will be performing at the gala to celebrate this ancient Chinese tradition. A number of Chinese Peking Opera masters will appear together on stage to perform classic Peking Opera pieces.

Chinese music master Fang Jinlong and Chinese erhu player Jin Yue, together with Hunan TV's virtual digital host Xiaoyang, have explored and innovated the format of the program through AR technology and other cutting-edge digital technologies, presenting the traditional Chinese instrumental music performance.

In addition, overseas Chinese are also creating their own cultural memories around the world in their own way.
