The family-friendly Chinese performance hosted by the All-China Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese and the Guangzhou Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese was held at the Golden Dragon Winery in Chinatown, Los Angeles on September 7 This "Family China" theme event uses culture and art as the carrier and family ties as the bond to send greetings from home to overseas Chinese, spread Chinese culture, and let more people understand China. Through various forms of foreign cultural exchanges and cooperation, it deepens the understanding and friendship between China and people around the world. The "Family China" Art Troupe is jointly organized and sponsored by the All-China Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese and the Guangzhou Overseas Chinese Federation. The Guangdong Provincial Department of Culture selects elites from professional literary and artistic groups such as the Guangdong Song and Dance Theater, the Southern Song and Dance Ensemble, and the Guangdong Provincial Art Institute. The party kicked off with "Song and Dance" by Zhang Chaoxi, an outstanding young singer from the Southern Song and Dance Ensemble. Zhang Chaoxi, who has won the "21st Century Chinese Music Award" and the gold medal of the China Outstanding Singer Competition, has delicate emotions and beautiful melodies; Li Bai's famous poem The well-known Northeastern folk song "Ussuri Boat Song" has a cheerful and beautiful singing voice; the singing voices of Chang An, a young singer from the Guangdong Song and Dance Theater and a national first-class actor, and the Mongolian tenor Jiang Bofang, who has a rich and emotional voice, all give people beautiful enjoyment. Pipa and guzheng, two famous Chinese musical instruments, were performed by Wu Qi, a young teacher at Xinghai Conservatory of Music, and Gu Beibei, a performer from the Guangdong Art Institute. The classic song "Thunder in the Dry Sky" was lively and smooth, full of vitality and cheerful rhythm. The ingenious combination of pipa and guzheng made the music euphemistically smooth and perfect. The finale of the party was the famous Chinese tenor Tang Biao, who has been famous in the Cantonese-speaking area since the 1980s. He is a member of the Chinese Musicians and Musicians Association and a national first-class actor. The "Family China" Art Troupe will also perform in San Francisco, Houston, Miami and Panama City.
