"Prelude to the Spring Festival Gala - The World Watches the CMG Gala Together" was jointly held by the CMG, the Chinese People's Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries, the Chinese Table Tennis Association, and the U.S.-China Youth and Student Exchange Association.
The event brought together nearly 500 representatives from both China and the U.S.
A choir made up of students from the Lincoln High School presented both Chinese and English songs and sent Spring Festival greetings to the Chinese people.
Similar overseas events are set to be held in multiple other countries, including France, New Zealand, Russia, Brazil and Egypt.
The CMG has held the "Prelude to the Spring Festival Gala" event for three years in a row.
The Spring Festival Gala, also known as "Chunwan" in Chinese, has been a major cultural symbol for the Chinese New Year celebrations in China since its debut in 1983. On every Chinese New Year's Eve, families and friends across the country gather to enjoy a mixed show of songs, dances, comic sketches, operas, and folk arts, among other performances.
The gala is recognized by the Guinness World Records as the world's most-watched TV program.
