Washington state just got a vibrant taste of Lunar New Year magic! ✨ The 'Prelude to the Spring Festival Gala' event lit up Tacoma's Lincoln High School this week, blending Chinese traditions with American enthusiasm ahead of next month's main celebration.
Over 25 students stole the show with bilingual performances – nailing both the Chinese classic 'On the Fields of Hope' and Ben E. King's soulful 'Stand by Me.' 🎤 Talk about cultural harmony!
Chinese Ambassador Xie Feng dropped some poetic wisdom: 'Like spring thawing winter ice, our nations should keep warming relations through cultural exchanges.' Meanwhile, Tacoma Mayor Anders Ibsen highlighted how their China partnerships boost local businesses and youth programs. 💼📚
With three successful years under its belt, this cultural bridge-building initiative keeps gaining momentum. China Media Group president Shen Haixiong revealed plans to expand the program, calling it 'a musical handshake between nations.' 🤝
Mark your calendars – the full 2026 CMG Spring Festival Gala airs February 17th! 🗓️ Who's ready for more dumplings, dragons, and cross-cultural collabs?
