The star-studded line-up for the China Media Group (CMG)'s Mid-Autumn Festival Gala has been revealed as the countdown to the entertainment extravaganza on Tuesday night continues, with several international performers taking their place among the many artists who are set to grace the stage.
Renowned French pianist Richard Clayderman, popular Kazakh singer Dimash Kudaibergen, and artists from the Chinese mainland, the Hong Kong and Macao special administrative regions and the Taiwan region will all deliver performances.
The gala will be broadcast worldwide from 20:00 Beijing Time (1200 GMT) via various CMG channels, as well as on several social media platforms, with the event being staged in the northeastern city of Shenyang.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is a traditional annual festivity in China with a history dating back more than a millennium. It centers around the moon and a good harvest, and is a time for family members and friends to reunite, eat mooncakes, and appreciate the full moon.
Featuring over 30 performances that blend various forms of art, including poetry, song, dance, and drama, the gala highlights the cultural charm of traditional festivals and symbolizes the continuity of Chinese civilization.
Through innovative artistic expressions, various elements of traditional Chinese culture will be vividly presented in the program, allowing the audience to appreciate the beauty of artistic conception, culture, and technology.
The gala will take place at the picturesque Dingxiang Lake Park, situated by Shenyang's largest urban lake, combining traditional Chinese culture with the local color and charm of the city.
It will spotlight key topics of interest for audiences at home and abroad. These include the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the 25th anniversary of Macao's return to China, and significant milestones such as the Chang'e-6 space mission, which saw China retrieve the first ever lunar samples from the far side of the moon.

Line-up for star-studded CMG Mid-Autumn gala revealed
Spanish students have expressed their expectation that a healthy China-U.S. economic and trade relationship will inject greater stability into the global economy and create greater opportunities for Spain.
On Sunday, Chinese and U.S. delegations convened in Paris, France for talks on economic and trade issues. Guided by the consensus reached by the two heads of state in Busan and their subsequent phone talks, the two sides will conduct consultations on economic and trade matters of mutual concern.
Ahead of the talks, members of the public in Madrid, Spain, shared their views on China–U.S. economic and trade relations with China Media Group (CMG). They agreed that reaching an agreement between the world’s two largest economies would have a direct impact on the global landscape.
"They are the two countries that contribute the most economically, in a manner of speaking, to the rest of the countries. They are major importers and exporters. So I think that a satisfactory relationship between them can be very beneficial for all other countries," said Claudia, an engineering student.
Noting that both sides are important trading partners of Spain, the interviewees stated that a healthy, stable and sustainable China-U.S. economic and trade relationship also affects various aspects of the Spanish society, and that agreements between the two countries would help promote Spain's economic growth.
"I do think that it could have a certain effect on the Spanish economy, both in terms of prices, and I would dare say employment as well. Because I think that if those two great powers reach an agreement, Spain could also get in on the action. It would create quite a few jobs in Chinese and American multinationals for all Spaniards," said Claudia.
"Spain is caught in the middle; it has good relations with both the U.S. and China. If it gets on the bad side of either one, it could be hit hard, because Spain mainly relies on tourism -- well, other things too, but essentially tourism, construction and agriculture. It's very important to have more help and trade with all countries around the world," said Denis, a law student.
