Normally, on New Year’s Eve dinners like this, we must have a fish. It also has a similar pronunciation to "extra wealth". That means every year we will have wealth. Apart from that, we also have chicken, pork, beef, duck, everything, tofu, vegetables, which symbolizes plenty and richness in life. What a feast! We brought Baijiu. Is this a good one?

**What an honor it is to be part of Yan's family's New Year's Eve celebrations. They made us feel right at home.**

The dumplings are going down a treat and the drink is starting to flow.

Well, I think it’s time for the tours toast. And traditionally, around the Chinese table, the rounds of toast go to the host and Yan. Yan, I think it’s your uncle who is going to make this toast tonight.

我勒个去啊,这个大误会!......

And being part of a meal like this is a cherished tradition in China. But there's another institution that we simply can't miss, and that's the Chunwan Gala.

The Ch unwan Gala is the most watched TV show on the planet, with millions of people in China and beyond tuning in every year. Here's Jing with a backstage pass to give you a glimpse of what goes on behind the scenes. The event is like China's biggest party, with live TV performances on a massive scale that last for four hours. Each of the 1000 acts selected for the show rehearses for up to a year to ensure that everything runs like clockwork on the night itself. If you say that something happens like clockwork, you mean that it happens without any problems or delays, or happens regularly. Last night, my computer was offline, but I still managed to watch some highlights from the show. Despite this minor setback, the Ch unwan Gala remains one of the most epic extravaganzas of the year, bringing joy and excitement to millions of people around the world as they welcome in the New Year.
