I stayed up all night to watch it on New Year's EveSpring Festival Gala, , ,First year of junior high schoolI slept until I naturally woke up.

For overseas students and Chinese people, the first day of the Lunar New Year is a bit special—while relatives in China visit and exchange New Year's greetings, it might just be a regular workday or weekend overseas. Physically unable to participate, one can still find some fun numerically. Recommended activities for the first day of the Lunar New Year:Chasing Spring Festival Gala names in the morningsceneThis afternoon, I'll be watching the Spring Festival movies..

Morning: Watching famous scenes from the Spring Festival Gala

Last night's Spring Festival Gala lasted more than four hours, so it was impossible to watch every program attentively. Many people watched it with the audio playing in the background while scrolling through their phones.

The best thing to do on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year:Let's catch up on last night's memorable scenes.Where can I catch up? Bilibili.

Within hours of the Spring Festival Gala ending, Bilibili is flooded with clips and fan-made content. Shen Teng and Ma Li's skits are edited into individual segments, Zhou Shen's songs are subtitled, and various bloopers and comments are compiled into collections.

This content is much more interesting than watching the entire Spring Festival Gala. The atmosphere of the bullet comments is the essence—tens of thousands of people commenting on the same scene together, that feeling is really addictive.The problem isMany Spring Festival Gala related videos on Bilibili are restricted to overseas users. After connecting using QuickFox (a VPN for accessing Chinese websites), the full version of Bilibili is unlocked, allowing you to watch whatever you want.

Worth reviewing in the first year of junior high:

• Shen Teng and Ma Li's skit (full version + behind-the-scenes footage)
• Zhou Shen's stage performance (pure version)
• A compilation of memorable moments from the Spring Festival Gala
• Various fan-made and parodies

Afternoon: Focus on Spring Festival films

The competition for films during the 2026 Spring Festival season will be fierce, with several blockbusters being released simultaneously.

For overseas Chinese and international students, the Spring Festival movie season is a pain point:I want to see it, but it's either not showing in overseas theaters or will be delayed for a long time..

What else can a first-year junior high student do?

Besides watching the Spring Festival Gala and keeping up with the Spring Festival film season, there are a few other things you can do on the first day of the Lunar New Year:

• Watching New Year's greeting videosThere will be a lot of New Year's greetings content on Douyin and Bilibili, including celebrity greetings, blogger greetings, and various creative videos, which will create a strong festive atmosphere.
• Red envelope grabThe red envelope frenzy in WeChat groups continues, peaking on the first day of the Lunar New Year. Using QuickFox to grab red envelopes provides a much faster response time.
• Video call with familyIn China, it's the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, which is the time for sending New Year's greetings. I'll make a video call and send my greetings virtually.

Whether you're watching memorable moments from the Spring Festival Gala, checking trailers for Spring Festival movies, scrolling through New Year's greeting videos, or grabbing red envelopes, you need to access domestic platforms.

A common problem faced by international students and Chinese isRegional RestrictionsBilibili, iQiyi, Douyin, WeChat... these platforms all have overseas access restrictions to varying degrees.
