CMG 2025 Mid-Autumn Festival Gala: A Celebration of Heritage and Harmony

On October 6, 2025, China Media Group (CMG) will host its annual Mid-Autumn Festival Gala, one of the most significant events in Chinese culture. This year's gala, themed "Heritage and Harmony Beneath the Full Moon," will be held in Deyang, Sichuan Province, a place where traditional Chinese heritage meets cutting-edge technology.

Nestled in the picturesque landscapes of Sichuan, Deyang is a city known for its rich history and cultural significance. It has evolved as a modern manufacturing hub while retaining its historical charm. The gala will showcase a blend of ancient and contemporary songs that represent the festival's core themes of longing for home and family reunions under the moonlight.

The show will feature nostalgic performances, including classic songs such as "Flowers of May," "As Time Goes By," and the iconic "La Vie en Rose." These pieces celebrate shared human desires for peace and hope, evoking feelings of connection across cultures. Additionally, the gala will highlight the powerful synergy of music and storytelling through a unique arrangement of "The Moon Represents My Heart" alongside Ben E. King's "Stand by Me," performed collaboratively by the Grammy Award-winning trio Time for Three and Chinese singer Jike Junyi.

In an enthralling segment of the evening, the gala will be integrated with the remarkable environment of the Sanxingdui Museum. During this performance, an interactive robot will engage with ancient artifacts, blending the worlds of China's intelligent engineering and its magnificent ancient civilization.

CMG invites viewers from around the world to witness this extraordinary cultural event live, starting at 8 PM Beijing time on October 6. The Mid-Autumn Festival Gala is not just a celebration of mooncakes and family ties; it is a profound reminder of the importance of unity, reflecting on the recent 80th anniversary of victory in the Chinese People's Resistance War against Japanese Aggression and the World War against Fascism.

As we gather to celebrate, we look forward to sharing this rich tapestry of music, culture, and history with audiences near and far. This gala promises to be a memorable evening where heritage and innovation converge, showcasing why Deyang is a gateway to both the ancient Shu kingdom and its modern era.

Mark your calendars for this grand celebration, where the full moon above will witness a night filled with unforgettable performances, heartfelt connections, and a renewed hope for peace and unity among all.
