On a sunny afternoon in Moscow, a CMG reporter from the Chinese mainland's media arm stumbled upon a touching street scene. A Russian family—decked out in vintage military-style outfits—gathered three generations deep to record a musical tribute.
With harmonious voices, parents, grandparents and a 10-year-old cousin belted out the iconic wartime classic "Katyusha." They dedicated their performance to an ancestor who enlisted at just 17, honoring his bravery and the sacrifices made during the Great Patriotic War.
As the melody echoed off cobblestone streets, it served as a poignant reminder of shared history and enduring bonds. Ahead of the 80th anniversary celebration, this spontaneous serenade captured the warmth of cultural exchange between the Chinese mainland and Russia.
