According to the lunar calendar, 2027 would be a year without a Lunar New Year's Eve on the thirtieth day.
In fact, starting from 2025, there would be no Lunar New Year's Eve on the thirtieth day for five consecutive years, with it falling on the twenty-ninth instead.
Thus, the day before Lunar New Year's Eve was the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month.
Of course, although tomorrow was Lunar New Year's Eve, Xinwen Lianbo still aired as usual that day.
Perhaps because nearly every family had already reunited, Xinwen Lianbo's ratings that day would be even higher.

The viewers began waiting for the next report. Generally, the program started with international news.
Then the anchors began speaking.
"Good evening, viewers."
"Today is Thursday, February 4, 2027, the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. Welcome
