The promotional video of China Media Group (CMG)'s 2026 Spring Festival Gala was screened at the annual Chinese New Year gala held by the Chinese Students and Scholars Association UK (CSSAUK) in London on Thursday evening.
Chinese ambassador to Britain Zheng Zeguang attended the event and sent warm greetings to the Chinese students and scholars in the country.
Addressing the event, Zheng encouraged the students to pursue their studies to serve China, striving to contribute to the Chinese modernization, promote Chinese culture, and advance China-Britain friendship.
The Spring Festival Gala promotional video captivated the attention of the guests at the event with its compelling performance, vividly displaying the cultural essence of the Chinese New Year and the vitality of China.
Many attendees said that the video offered an opportunity for them to gain a deeper understanding of the cultural heritage and festive atmosphere embodied by the Spring Festival.
"I know that it [the Spring Festival] has to do with preparing lots of food and going to see family and friends. And it goes on for about two weeks, people traveling all over and because they really do want to go home and see their family and friends," said Ronald Anderson, Emeritus Professor of Finance at London School of Economics and Political Science.
"It's incredible. [With] the fact that you can see so many of the different ethnicities and they've all prepared their own little parts with such complexity, I was truly in awe," said Lucy, student at University College London.
The Spring Festival, or the Chinese New Year, is the most important traditional holiday for the Chinese people, and watching the Spring Festival Gala on television is a cherished part of the celebrations in hundreds of millions of Chinese homes.
This year's Spring Festival Gala will be broadcast live around the world on the Chinese New Year's Eve on February 16.
