Jin Sha and Xue Zhiqian shout of their love for Shanghai

For the second year in a row, Dragon TV featured a cute Shanghainese rap MV for its Chinese New Year’s show. This year, Shanghaineses artists Xue Zhiqian, Kym Jin Sha and Huang Ling, along with other artists like Fu Xinbo and Da Zhang Wei, participated in flash mobs in various famous spots in Shanghai to film the MV. Jin Sha also took the bold step of choosing to wear a hanfu for the MV.

Sorry about the video quality, but at least the cute Shanghainese makes up for it!

New Year Galas Wrap-up

CCTV’s Spring Festival Gala has become one of the symbols of the Lunar New Year in China and one of the most extravagant shows that CCTV puts on every year. Jay Chou’s performance was probably the most anticipated event of the night. It consisted of three generations of singers – folk singer Song Zuying, Jay and 9-year-old genius Hou Gaojunjie- singing a blend of Song Zuying’s “Spicy Girls” and Jay’s “Herbalist Manual.” Apparently, singing with Song Zuying has been a dream of Jay.

Update: Jay also said that he has already invited Song Zuying to sing in a duet with him. He says he wants to compose a duet just for her.
