TV personality Patty Hou is set to light up screens across the Chinese mainland this week as she makes her first appearance on the CMG Spring Festival Gala 🎤. In an exclusive chat with CGTN's Zang Shijie, the star revealed her most cherished Lunar New Year rituals – think mahjong marathons, midnight feasts, and family bonding that’ll make you want to call your grandma ASAP 📞.
‘The reunion dinner is everything,’ Hou gushed, describing how her Taiwanese New Year celebrations often stretch into early mornings filled with laughter and tile-clacking strategy games. She sees the iconic Gala not just as a show, but as a cultural glue connecting generations 🧧.
