The Chinese Spring Festival is approaching. Besides the annual Spring Festival Gala held by China's Central Television, Chinese people can expect a Global Spring Festival Gala produced by Beijing TV this year. BTV has recently released the theme song of the gala "I Love You".
China's famous musician and singer Xiao Ke is the producer of this song, covering both composition, lyrics and singing. Xiao Ke says this song will shine with its globalization spirit as he has invited people from 24 countries to say "I Love You" in their own languages in this song. Besides recording, the foreigners also attend the shooting of the music video of the song.
Xiao Ke says he wants to use this song to express his idea that love is a common thing among the global people.
"I love a sentence of the song's lyrics most, namely, "we all need to love and to be loved." People will love you only if you love them. The world can't be happy without love. This song gathers people from so many countries with so many languages, thus it is very warm and nice."
Ma Lan from Russia is one of the foreign participants. She says she has enjoyed her involvement much.
"As one of the representatives for the foreign participators to the song, I feel very proud. I am very grateful to Xiao Ke as he gave me the chance to show up and display myself in the song and its music video."
With warm lyrics and melody, "I Love You" fully displays the theme of The Global Spring Festival Gala, that is, "World's People Hand-in-Hand". It will be broadcast on various TV and radio networks, greeting the future appearance of the Global Spring Festival Gala on the 15th next month, the following day of the Chinese Spring Festival.
