Children's Day gala to air online tonight

A special gala, designed to provide aesthetic education for children across the country, will greet young audiences online tonight as part of the celebration for the upcoming Children's Day.

The online show will feature singing, dancing, martial arts and poetry reading to portray the everyday life of today's children and showcase their youthful vitality.

The event is a part of a series of activities titled "We Grow Together, My Country and Me". Since its launch in 2019, more than 5,000 young performers from 65 art troupes have had the opportunity to showcase their artistic talents at the National Center for the Performing Arts. The activities, which aim to inspire children to integrate their own growth into the overall development of the country, have enjoyed enduring popularity among young viewers.

The Beijing Municipal Education Commission has called for all students from primary and middle high schools in the city to watch the show.

The gala is co-organized by China Soong Ching Ling Foundation, China Welfare Institute, National Center for the Performing Arts and Beijing Municipal Education Commission,
