Move over, superheroes—Nezha, the rebellious mythological hero from Chinese folklore, just stole the spotlight at China Media Group’s (CMG) 2025 Lantern Festival Gala! 🎭 After winning hearts as the star of China’s highest-grossing animated film this Spring Festival, the 'devil boy' swapped battles for beats in a dazzling performance.
Renowned singer Da Zhangwei and Nezha’s voice actress Lyu Yanting teamed up with a crew of talented kids for a vibrant song-and-dance act, blending tradition with modern flair. The gala, held on February 12 to mark the 15th day of the lunar new year, officially wrapped up the Spring Festival season with fireworks (literally and figuratively!). 🎆
Pro tip for culture enthusiasts: Nezha’s revival isn’t just a win for animation—it’s a fresh way Gen Z is connecting with ancient legends. Who said myths can’t trend? 📱💥
