1983

The words "Episode 1" were prominently displayed.

Next, we will introduce the guests present.

At that time, there was no grand and exquisite stage like in later generations. The performance platform and the audience seats were right next to each other, and many well-known veteran artists were sitting in the audience.

Even the hosts weren't professional, and the openness of everyone's performances left Li Xiangdong, who was rewatching the Spring Festival Gala, speechless.

Siqin Gaowa actually cursed and used foul language in a skit!

This greatly shocked and saddened Li Xiangdong, who had watched the Spring Festival Gala countless times in later generations.

Everyone was so vibrant, without any artificial or mechanical performance masked by a layer of masks.

As Liu Xiaoqing, Ma Ji, Jiang Kun, and others made their grand entrance, they hosted the first Spring Festival Gala with enthusiastic words.

The program featured a variety of wonderful performances, including singing, dancing, crosstalk, and skits, which kept the audience laughing.

Among them, Li Guyi's rendition of "Hometown Love" received unanimous praise.

Grandma Jiang listened to Li Guyi's songs with her eyes slightly narrowed, her face full of rapture.

Li Ping hummed along softly, while Li Yan danced and sang along. Li Jiabao tried to pull her back, but Li Yan pulled him up to dance with her instead.

After the song ended, magician Johnson used his magical skills to transport viewers to a fantastical world.

People rarely see foreigners, and even fewer have seen such exquisite magic tricks. They all gasped in amazement at his transformations.

This Spring Festival Gala lasted for four hours.

Until midnight, the clock struck midnight on the television, and firecrackers went off one after another outside the window. Fireworks burst into bloom, illuminating the entire sky.

The 1983 Spring Festival Gala shone like a bright pearl in that special era.

The stage was brightly decorated, filled with a festive atmosphere; the audience below cheered and laughed, welcoming the arrival of the Year of the Dragon together.

This unforgettable night witnessed the changes of the times and recorded countless beautiful memories.

As the song "Unforgettable Tonight" played, everyone reluctantly turned off the television.

The food that wasn't finished on the table had gone cold.

During this time, the restaurant staff were all engrossed in watching the Spring Festival Gala, and no one came in to reheat their food.

However, no one was hungry at all.

The waiter brought them a bowl of freshly cooked dumplings. They each ate a small bowl of the dumplings and then packed up to go home.
