The Chinese Spring Festival falls on February 16 in 2018. Despite being the most-watched television show in the world with at least 700 million viewers every year, the Gala has been more of a tradition for people in China. However, this year's event could be the most “international” Gala ever. While backstage, CGTN met with some of the performers for this year's extravaganza. The actors and performers come from many countries and regions, including Russia, Italy, Egypt and the US.
