1月15日康大集團2026年新春晚會上，壓軸節目《難忘今宵》的合唱隊伍中出現了一位特别的表演者——我校外籍教師Francisco Jesús García Hidalgo。這是他首次在中國登上新年晚會的舞台，也是康大集團年會的第一位參演的外籍教師，他用為期數周的練習，完成了一場跨越文化的歡樂奔赴。

At the Konda Group’s 2026 Spring Festival Gala held on January 15, the closing anthem “Unforgettable Tonight” featured a very special voice—our foreign faculty member FranciscoJesús García Hidalgo. It was his first Chinese New-Year stage. Hewas also the first foreign teacher to participate in the gala of Konda Group and weeks of practice turned into a joyful leap across cultures.

采訪中，當被問及新春晚會節目的準備過程時，Francisco笑着唱到“無論新友與故交…” 他解釋，這句話的節奏和他平時說中文的斷句感覺不太一樣，是他練習時特别留意的地方。

Asked about his feelings during the preparation of his performance for the Gala, Franciscogrinned and belted out the line: "無論新友與故交..."The rhythm, he explained, is tricky. His usual Chinese speech pattern doesn’t fall quite into place like that, so he drilled it until the chunking felt natural.

對他來說，在康大集團2026年新春晚會上參演壓軸合唱《難忘今宵》，是一次新鮮的體驗。為此，他提前幾周便開始練習這首中文歌。那印着中文歌詞的紙張成了他那段時間的随身之物，在熟悉旋律的同時，他也認識了“涯”、“角”這些富有詩意的新詞。

Singing the closing-night anthem “Unforgettable Tonight” was a fresh experience for him. Several weeks in advance, he began walking the campus with a crumpled lyric sheet: melody in his mind, new words like"涯"and "角" slipping into his vocabulary.

《難忘今宵》是Francisco學會的第三首中文歌曲。他的“中華曲庫”裡，還有讓人聽到就想跳舞的國民神曲《小蘋果》，以及他覺得旋律優美又略帶悲傷的《童話》。提起參與晚會的初衷，他顯得很高興：“在西班牙，年底也有很類似的聚會，大家回顧過去，祝福彼此。所以能在這裡參加活動，并且是用中文演唱，我覺得特别親切，這是一種很好的融入。”為了分享這份期待，他早早在朋友圈發出了邀請：“千萬不要錯過GCC今晚的活動，會有驚喜哦！”

The song became the third Chinese title in his pocket playlist, after the instant-dance hit"小蘋果" and the wistful "童話" .

"I have almost the same kind of year-end gathering in Spain, looking back and blessing each other," he said. "Doing it here, in Chinese, feels like instant belonging." To share the excitement he posted: "No os perdáis el evento de hoy en GCC!!! Habrá sorpresas".

盡管已經能夠流利演唱，Francisco坦言，“無論新友與故交”這一句仍然是不小的挑戰，其微妙之處在于語言節奏與音樂韻律的融合。但這絲毫未影響他的熱情。在他看來，《難忘今宵》這個歌名格外貼切，新年是關于新的開始，也關于珍惜情誼，無論新朋還是舊友，共度的時光都值得銘記。

The line "無論新友與故交" was still difficult for him, but the challenge only sharpens the thrill. "Unforgettable Tonight" is the perfect name, he added: new beginnings, old bonds—every shared second counts.

晚會表演當晚九點，晚會的氣氛依舊熱烈。當《難忘今宵》的經典旋律響起，Francisco與同事們一同登上舞台。燈光之下，過去幾周的專注練習化為自然而真誠的歌聲，一份跨越語言的祝福随之傳遞。

At nine o’clock on the night of the Gala, the gala lights still blazed, the familiar traditional melody drifted in, and Francisco stepped onstage with his colleagues. Several weeks of tongue-twisting practice melted into one effortless, heartfelt wish, sung in Mandarin, rooted in Spain, aimed at everyone lucky enough to be in the glow.

今夜，一位外籍教師用他“難忘”的幾周，為這個中國新年增添了别樣的國際色彩。讓我們共祝新年快樂，情誼長存！

Tonight a foreign teacher’s "unforgettable" weeks painted the Chinese New Year a brand-new international hue. Happy New Year, and may the friendship last even longer than the melody.
