"Four Seas in the Same Spring" landed in Surabaya, Indonesia to talk about friendship and reunion
China News Service, Surabaya, February 18th (Reporter Zhou Xinmai) 19th is the 15th day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival in China. In 2019, the "Four Seas in the Same Spring" Asian delegation performed in Surabaya, Indonesia on the evening of 18th, and sent Lantern Festival greetings to local overseas Chinese in advance.
The performance of the day was mainly performed by the Central National Song and Dance Troupe, and Lei Jia, Yang Chi, Lan Jian, Tian Yan, Zhao Xiong, Zhi-guo Qian and other well-known domestic vocal and Peking Opera artists were invited to participate in the troupe. More than ten programs lasting for two hours have their own characteristics, including instrumental acrobatics, solo and group dance, all of which are colorful.

Among them, Tian Yan, a tenor from china opera, struck a strong chord with the audience with "In that Far Away Place". "The classic melody is the most touching," Tian Yan said. "No matter where overseas Chinese go, national culture is deeply rooted in the heart and rooted in blood; Whenever it rings in the ear, it is close enough and touching enough. "
The acrobatic "Butterfly Love" made the scene exclaim and admire. Sun Yina, from Dalian Warrior Red Star Art Troupe, said that acrobatics is the representative of adventure and excitement, and ballet is the display of strength and beauty. In order to organically integrate the two and interpret the essence of Chinese and Western cultures, it is necessary to be distracted and not have a trace of distractions during the performance.

This cultural feast made Mr. Lin, an overseas Chinese, shout "enjoyable". As a generation of Hua Er, Mr. Lin was born in Indonesia, and now his two children have grown up. It is an agreement made by Mr. Lin’s family with "Four Seas in the Same Spring" year after year to go.
Mr. Lin said, "The Lantern Festival pays the most attention to reunion. Tomorrow, our family of four will be together. It is little reunion. I have been with the Chinese family in Surabaya tonight, and I have been with my relatives from my hometown. It is a happy reunion! "
Gu Jingqi, Consul General of China in Surabaya, Indonesia, told reporters that Indonesia is one of the few countries except China that has designated the Spring Festival as a national statutory holiday, which reflects the Indonesian government’s contribution to Chinese people and the recognition of Chinese traditional culture.

The Spring Festival is a symbol of good luck, a symbol of peace, and a yearning for beauty. Gu Jingqi said that the arrival of "Four Seas in the Same Spring" made China citizens who worked and studied in Surabaya feel at home for the New Year, and also enabled all Indonesian Chinese to reap the blessings and warmth from their homeland on the eve of the Lantern Festival.
