Because of the threat of the spread of the coronavirus, the Chinese people celebrate the Lunar New Year or Spring Festival not on such a large scale as before. Even the firing of fireworks aimed to scare away the evil spirits (an inherent tradition of the holiday) is prohibited this year. However, the inhabitants of the country were offered an alternative: a gala TV concert featuring pop stars and advanced visual effects.
