Latin America celebrates Chinese Lunar New Year

Dancers from China Disabled People's Performing Art Troupe perform during the show "My Dream" at the Rios Reyna Hall of the Teresa Carreno Theater in Caracas, Venezuela, on Jan. 29, 2016.

Venezuela excited by "My Dream"

"My Dream" thrilled viewers at the Teresa Carreno Theater in Venezuela's capital Caracas in late January.

This time Liu received strong applause for singing "Alma Llanera" (Soul of the Plains), Venezuela's unofficial anthem.

Sharing the stage with the CDPPAT was the children's choir from Venezuela's Mevorah Florentin Special Education School, reflecting the strong bond between the two nations.

"The two countries maintain an excellent bilateral relationship in all fields -- from politics, economy to social and cultural life," said China's Ambassador to Venezuela Zhao Bentang.

"Venezuela has become a strength that can exchange cultures, traditions and ways of living with China," said Venezuela's Culture Minister Freddy Nanez.

Other cultural events were also very popular, such as a photo exhibition of Beijing, a Chinese film festival for children and a series of Chinese films and documentaries airing on state TV channels.
