Chinese actors Fan Bingbing and Li Chen topbill the performers at China Central Television’s New Year Gala which marks the beginning of the festive Lunar New Year.
The event, to be held in Beijing, is being speculated by fans of Fan Bingbing as the occasion when she would possibly announce her wedding to Li Chen. However, the couple said when asked about the possibility of a marriage announcement, “We’ll definitely share if we have good news!”
Together for Spring Festival
According to Toggle, Li Chen and Fan Bingbing will spend the beginning of Spring Festival together since he could not return to Qingdao, his hometown, because of his work schedule. Li Chen is still mum about what they would perform, but he teased it could be something sweet and short such as a song.
