2022 New Zealand Chinese New Year Online Gala 新西兰华人网络春晚

On the 5th of February 2022, young guzheng artist Lin Zheng, along with Boya Guzheng, was invited to participate in the 2022 New Zealand Chinese New Year Online Gala. This event was jointly hosted by the New Zealand Pacific Culture and Arts Development Association and the New Zealand China Cultural Exchange Association. Many VIPs, including diplomats from China and representatives from the Chinese Federation of Overseas Chinese and the Jiangsu Provincial Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese, as well as New Zealand government ministers and members of parliament, mayors and councillors of various cities, extended their heartfelt wishes for the gala!

During the four-and-a-half-hour show, Boya Guzheng was the first to perform, capturing the audience's attention. As a treasured part of China's five-thousand-year-old civilisation, the guzheng has always been an essential element in promoting Chinese traditional culture. The next performance was the Peking Opera The Palace of Eternal Youth, performed by renowned Peking Opera artists Kuizhi Yu and Shengsu Li. Additionally, artists and performers from China, New Zealand, Canada, Australia, and other countries presented a variety of performances, including songs, dances, instrumental music, sketches, acrobatics, magic, and face-changing. These diverse artistic acts made the Year of the Tiger Online Gala a star-studded and vibrant celebration!
