一个个熟悉的画面、一首首节日的序曲，总能唤起心底浓厚的新年记忆与美好向往……WhereZhengzhou用一场精心策划的云端联欢会来传递郑州的声音、郑州的祝福。

The 2023 Online China (Zhengzhou) New Year Gala takes the opportunity of the activity "Our Chinese Dream - Culture Enters Thousands of Families" to vigorously promote excellent traditional culture, demonstrate the achievements of Zhengzhou as a national central city, and speed up the building of the national key part of the Chinese Historical Civilization Inheritance and Innovation Base.

2023中国（郑州）云端新年联欢会以“我们的中国梦——文化进万家”活动为契机，大力弘扬优秀传统文化，展示郑州国家中心城市建设成就，加快打造华夏历史文明传承创新基地中的全国重地。

This unique New Year party will be full of highlights, including a magnificent symphony orchestra, melodious piano music, classical Henan opera, a wonderful string ensemble, attractive foreign songs, ancient Chinese music, dancing to Tang Dynasty music, and the music show of foreign guests in Zhengzhou and young people from overseas international friendship cities...

这台独具韵味的新年联欢会精彩纷呈，既有气势恢宏的交响乐、旋律飞扬的钢琴曲、唱念做打俱佳的经典豫剧、悠扬美妙的弦乐重奏、百听不厌的外文歌曲，还有古韵十足的华夏古乐、唐代乐舞，以及在郑外籍嘉宾和海外国际友城青年的音乐展示……

Maybe we cannot hold a party in-person to celebrate the New Year, but we can still listen to classical music on the screen and talk about the future accompanied by programs to open a wonderful 2023 with a happy musical journey.

或许我们无法欢聚线下，但仍可以透过屏幕于指尖流转中聆听经典，于光影变幻中对话未来，用一场欢乐之旅开启美好的2023。

Starting now, WhereZhengzhou will launch this program on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, WeChat, video accounts, Microblog, Toutiao and other major platforms at home and abroad, allowing friends in China and other countries to enjoy the beauty of music and feel this "culture feast of Zhengzhou" full of New Year atmosphere.
