Not bad, only one person fell asleep.
小意儿 [网易北京市网友]:
Being able to fall asleep at the show, just goes to show the quality of the Spring Festival Gala…
君维 [网易河南省网友]:
Please accept this “best audience member” award.
网易青海省网友 [兔子耳朵长长]:
She’s not considered bad, because she more or less saw the Spring Festival Gala, whereas I didn’t even watch it at all and just played cards, because we knew early on that the Spring Festival Gala show is just some garbage.
网易广西南宁市网友 [封尘子]:
A boring/pointless show.
网易新疆伊犁州伊宁市网友 [西游记最经典]:
Show how this Spring Festival Gala was the worst ever.
网易广西南宁市网友:
The old woman had a tiring day, and just as she was thinking she could finally rest, her filial children forced to attend the show. Poor her.
觉醒中国人:
Politics simply blind those idiots without education. The entire television program to me is just wasting a huge amount of taxpayers’ money to hold a large scale political performance, without any meaning, all packaged in hardware, entertainment kidnapped by politics, harmonized. Many of the performers are high-ranking military officials, CPPCC members, with double identities, so what entertainment can they provide us poor naive people? It is a tragedy of mainlanders’ consciousness. This is a historical regression.
ALsong [网易辽宁省抚顺市网友]：
I fell asleep so many times watching it…
ss210 [网易广东省广州市网友]:
The Chinese New Year’s Gala is just a song and dance version of Xinwen Lianbo, what’s worth watching!?
cqhyc [网易重庆市南岸区网友]：
Good thing I didn’t watch the Spring Festival Gala… especially if it was like this even being there in the audience… Every year it is those same faces [acts]. I got tired of it long ago.
网易北京市网友:
Her sleeping shows that she’s mentally awake. The other people may be awake, but they’re mentally asleep.
Anyone remember this guy “Laughing Brother”?
