It is reported that the delegation is led by Ren Qiliang, deputy director of the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office of the State Council of China, and will visit Los Angeles, Seattle, Chicago, New York in the United States, and Montreal and Vancouver in Canada. Famous artists such as Lu Jihong, Lu Wei, Wang Hongwei, Yu Kuizhi, Li Shengsu, and Yang Chi will jointly present beautiful local accents and programs rich in traditional charm to overseas Chinese in the United States and Canada.

"The influence of the brand 'Cultural China, Spring in Four Seas' is no longer limited to overseas Chinese, but is also very popular among local people and political figures." Ren Qiliang said in an exclusive interview with a reporter from China News Service before the trip that "Spring in Four Seas" highlights the charm of cultural exchanges and demonstrates the influence of traditional Chinese culture overseas.

Ren Qiliang said that the troupe has a strong lineup, high-level actors and artistic standards, and the program has the traditional cultural characteristics of the Chinese nation. The program types are mainly singing and dancing. In addition to folk songs, popular songs, and bel canto, there are also two representative operas: Peking Opera and Huangmei Opera. "This art troupe is the largest art troupe I have ever led since I led the troupe to perform overseas."

Talking about the Spring Festival of the Year of the Dragon in the Chinese Lunar Calendar, Ren Qiliang expressed his hope that overseas Chinese will live better and better lives. He said that the dragon is a traditional Chinese symbol and he hopes that the Lunar Year of the Dragon can bring good luck to overseas Chinese, better integrate into local society, participate more in local affairs, and play a greater role in exchanges and cooperation between the country of residence and China.

Lu Jihong has followed the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office of the State Council to participate in performances overseas for overseas Chinese many times over the past decade. This visit will bring classic old songs such as "We Ordinary People" to the overseas Chinese. In his opinion, although foreign cultural undertakings are relatively prosperous and there are many theatrical performances, overseas Chinese still look forward to "Cultural China, Spring Together" because the voices from China attract them more.

Young singer Lu Wei revealed that in order to present representative Chinese elements to overseas Chinese, she specially prepared seven or eight songs for this performance. In addition to the new songs "Butterfly" and "Promise of the Earth", it also includes "My Motherland and Me" and the famous song "China Red"; in addition, she has prepared some folk songs from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, hoping that overseas folks can hear the local accent.

"Overseas Chinese are far away from their ancestral country and rarely have the opportunity to hear such northwest folk songs. They will definitely feel more intimate." Wang Hongwei, known as the "King of Western Songs," introduced that this time he has prepared many masterpieces such as "A Glass of Fine Wine", "Son Travels Thousands of Miles", and "Lovely Rose" for the overseas Chinese in North America, hoping to bring the melodious and vast Northwest style to the overseas Chinese.

During this visit, Yu Kuizhi will present a wonderful Peking Opera performance with his old partner Li Shengsu and Yang Zhi, director of the Dalian Peking Opera Theater and a famous painter with colorful faces. Yu Kuizhi said that we will sing our own representative works separately, and we will also perform some chorus jokes in pairs. In addition, we have specially prepared Beijing songs with modern elements for young audiences. (over)
