The Bayi Aerobatic Team of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) Air Force concluded its final performance with six J-10 fighter jets on Saturday morning at the 10th Singapore Airshow.

At 11:00 on Sunday, six J-10 fighters streaked across the sky. Flying in an ultra-tight formation, they trailed vibrant ribbons of red, yellow, and blue smoke, painting a spectacular display above the airport.

The formation shifted from the full six-jet squadron to groups of four and then to solo acts. Each display was executed with high precision, showing the pilots' sophisticated skill and the aircraft's outstanding performance.

"During the airshow, we performed with aerobatic teams from other countries and completed five performances at the highest standards and in our best shape. With vibrant aerial trails, we conveyed our best wishes to the audience from various countries and built a bridge of friendship to enhance exchanges between the Chinese and Singaporean armies," said Yu Enquan, a member from the Bayi Aerobatic Team.

"The Bayi Aerobatic Team's performance today left me a deep impression. My feeling is that the team displayed especially professional quality in their formations, which are very neat and uniform. I feel proud of my motherland," said Wu Yan, a Chinese student.

"The show by the Chinese aerobatic team was very exciting. I like the fact that they were able to keep the formation very tight and still be able to maintain the formation moving at a high speed. That shows the pilots have a great degree of skill and control over the aircraft," said Li Tien Liang, a Singaporean visitor.

The airshow ran from Tuesday to Sunday in Singapore, marked by the return of the Bayi Aerobatic Team to the event since its seventh edition in February 2020.

More than 20 films will hit Chinese screens during the three-day Qingming Festival holiday from Saturday to Monday, spanning genres from revolutionary historical dramas, realism movies to suspense thrillers, according to the China Film Administration on Thursday.

Revolutionary historical films such as Blood-Spattered Cliff, Eight Sons, Eight Soldiers, and Half Of The Quilt, will pay tribute to martyrs through the lens.

Three films -- It's OK, Now I Met Her, and Sunshine Women's Choir -- tell moving stories of love, growth, and reconciliation.

It's OK is a contemporary family comedy that follows a mother and daughter navigating their joyful yet turbulent relationship. Now I Met Her tells a rebellious teenager who gets to know his late mother through her old diary. Sunshine Women's Choir, a film from the Taiwan region of China, portrays the "perfect" maternal love of "imperfect mothers."

The suspense film Game of Identity tells the story of two people from different backgrounds who accidentally swap lives, setting off an unexpected adventure. The documentary films Seeking Nature: The Code of Life, and Missions to the Moon (Part One) explore the connection between humanity and science.

Imported films from different countries, including The Super Mario Bros. Movie 2, Project Hail Mary, and Hoppers, will deliver spectacular cinematic experiences to audiences.

The Qingming Festival, or Tomb-Sweeping Day, falls on April 5 this year. It is a traditional Chinese festival for honoring the deceased and paying tribute to ancestors. The holiday also provides a short break for Chinese citizens as they engage in outdoor activities and sightseeing.
