Celebrating the 70th anniversary of the founding of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, China Media Group’s 2025 Mid-Autumn Festival Gala served up a modern twist on a classic folk tune.
The song? “The Half Moon Rising,” originally from Kashi. This time, it got a makeover with electronic beats, visuals, and a dance crew that brought all the 🔥 energy.
By blending traditional melodies with EDM-style rhythms and cutting-edge stage design, the performance highlighted the vibrancy of young artists and offered sincere blessings for Xinjiang’s future. It was a perfect fusion of heritage and innovation. 🌙🎶
For today’s youth—whether you’re streaming on your phone or scrolling through TikTok—this remix shows how cultural roots can be refreshed for the digital age. It’s more than a song; it’s a celebration of unity, progress, and creative spirit.
