For many Chinese, watching the Spring Festival Gala is a must on the eve of the Spring Festival. 1E
For more than 40 years, the Gala starts at 8 o’clock and lasts till midnight. Many great artists are invited to perform in Beijing. 2B They cover many kinds of art forms, such as singing, dancing, cross talks, short plays, and operas. It is meant to amuse (逗……乐) Chinese people of all ages.
However, some people seem to have watched less of the Gala. One reason is that there are a lot more kinds of shows now than 20 years ago. Secondly, they have more choices to make such as watching short videos on their phones. It seems that the Gala has lost its advantages (优势). As a result, an increasing number of people complain (抱怨) about it every year. 3C
However, no matter how people complain about it, the Gala remains the most popular show in China. It has become a necessary activity during the Chinese New Year’s Eve. 4A For those at home, it’s a good way to bring all family members together. And for those who live overseas, they may feel much closer to their home country while watching the Gala.
