according to zeng xiaocheng, the general director of the gala, all the programs of this national day gala are gradually unfolded around the theme of "chinese heart and love for the country". many programs seem to be independent, but the audience will find that they are related to each other if they look closely. some programs are even the emotional continuation of the previous program. the gala uses an invisible timeline to string some programs together. the host uses the first-person narrative method to bring the audience from october 1, 1949 to today. the whole gala does not look scattered, but complete and continuous.

zeng xiaocheng said: "the 75th anniversary of the national day is a festival for every chinese. we have our own festival, and we have to celebrate it happily. however, we are a group of overseas chinese, and we cannot do without our japanese friends around us. therefore, many programs of this gala have japanese friends joining in. for example, there is a japanese fan who participated in the peking opera performance. he sings better than many chinese. another example is the dance "the man in the painting" created by japanese and chinese artists. the performers include japanese dancer ukon koto and japanese taiko drum player yutaka kobayashi. "
last year and the year before, the all-china federation successfully held the national day gala, and this year is also an important time node to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the founding of the people's republic of china. zeng xiaocheng said that in order to maintain the achievements of the previous two years and make breakthroughs, the director team faced a new challenge, that is, innovation. to this end, the director team racked their brains. this gala, from the program format, stage presentation to the selection of young actors, is full of innovation.
shang lijun, the director in charge of the performance programs, said that compared with previous evening parties, this national day evening party is more colorful in artistic form, with performance programs created by the director team, including skits, musicals, and multi-element innovative programs. these programs have one thing in common - they all express love and affection, showing the gratitude and admiration of overseas chinese in japan for heroes. in addition, these programs also show the unchanging feelings of new and old chinese for their motherland and hometown. in order to better express the theme of love, the creative team used as many stage performance methods as possible.
at present, all the programs are in the final stage of rehearsal. he naihe said that he hopes that all the actors and staff will show their professionalism and perform at their best to bring a refreshing performance to the audience.
