China Media Group (CMG) is rolling out festive programming to celebrate two major autumn events: China's National Day on October 1 and the Mid-Autumn Festival on September 29. The lineup promises cultural fireworks with three flagship shows blending tradition and modernity.
What's On the Menu?
📺 'Sunrise in the East' will broadcast live from Beijing's Tiananmen Square during the National Day flag-raising ceremony – a visual feast of patriotism meets morning golden hour vibes.
🎆 The 2025 National Day Special highlights China's tech and cultural achievements through AR-enhanced performances (think holographic dancers meets ancient poetry).
🥮 Mid-Autumn Gala serves mooncake-flavored entertainment: family reunion stories, lunar legends retold via AI animation, and celebrity-hosted virtual lantern riddles.
Why It Matters
With 70% of China's population expected to tune in, these programs aim to strengthen cultural identity while showcasing technological innovation. A CMG spokesperson told us: 'We're bridging generations – grandparents will recognize the folk songs, while Gen Z will vibe with the metaverse elements.'
International viewers can stream selected segments through CMG's overseas platforms, offering a window into contemporary Chinese culture 🌐✨.
