Two of China's most popular singers from different generations will unite on stage in this year's Spring Festival Gala.

Taiwan hip hop sensation Jay Chou will sing A Thousand Miles Away together with mainland's most celebrated singer, Song Zuying.

Gala organizers consulted millions of people around China via online surveys and votes while organizing this year's gala event.

The duet between Jay Chou and Song Zuying was by far the most popular idea floated before the public.
