烛火再密，如何穿过远洋

对联似行云

可否接上，隔岸期待的目光

如记忆。大红灯笼高高挂起

是异域，还是母国的上空

元月二十一日晚二十时十五分左右，巴西米纳斯吉拉斯州第二届华人迎新春联欢晚会正式登场。来自本州各城市的各类私营企业、中资企业的员工，孔子学院的师生以及部分台湾同胞共300多人，参加了当晚的活动。本次晚会旨在过祖国传统节日，传播中华民族优秀文化。

Celebrating traditional festivals and spreading Chinese culture

 ——The 2nd Spring Festival Gala in Minas Gerais, Brazil ended successfully

 Author: Ji Junqun, Ji Haotian

 No matter how dense the candlelight is, how to cross the ocean

 couplets like clouds

 Can you connect, looking forward to the other side

 such as memory.  Red lanterns hang high

 Is it a foreign land, or the sky above the home country?

 At around 20:15 p.m. on January 21st, the second Chinese New Year Gala in Minas Gerais, Brazil officially debuted.  More than 300 people, including employees of various private enterprises and Chinese-funded enterprises from various cities in the state, teachers and students of the Confucius Institute, and some compatriots from Taiwan, participated in the event that night.  The purpose of this evening party is to celebrate the traditional festivals of the motherland and spread the excellent culture of the Chinese nation.

 The party was hosted by Ms. Miao Miao, a young entrepreneur in Pakistan; Mr. Maio, the main sponsor of the party and the owner of oi mall, gave a congratulatory speech at the meeting;  I won the first one, which is also the grand prize of the party.  Thus, the curtain was drawn.

 The party prepared fruit, barbecue, drinks and some Chinese food for the overseas Chinese.  There are singing and dancing performances, musical instrument playing, poetry appreciation, fireworks viewing, etc., and various lottery activities are held.  The overseas Chinese celebrated the Spring Festival as if returning to the embrace of the motherland.

 The biggest highlight of this event is: while the overseas Chinese are happy and happy, they do not forget their original aspirations. At the same time, they are revisiting and spreading the 5,000-year-old Chinese culture.  Among them, the teachers and students of the Confucius Institute were explaining the essence of Chinese culture and performing some traditional and popular group programs of our motherland.  Ms. Ji Xinyi, a Chinese college student, recited in Chinese emotionally the poem "Celebrating the New Year in a Foreign Country" by the overseas Chinese poet Mr. Ji Junqun.

 In the atmosphere of "unforgettable tonight", the overseas Chinese have been asking to come back next year and pass on the "Spring Festival Gala" every year.  The event came to a successful conclusion amidst the beautiful firecrackers and fireworks.
