Performers were crossing their fingers going into the penultimate dress rehearsal of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala on Tuesday. With the festival eve looming, nerves are starting to strain.
As the most prestigious showcase for China's top performers, theSpring Festival Galahas no shortage of established acts queuing up to appear. But the gala always reserves some spots for the unknowns and the up-and-coming to make their national breakthroughs.
