On the evening of December 31, 2024, large crowds gathered at Wangfujing in Beijing to celebrate the New Year. While many had hoped for official New Year’s Eve events, such as a countdown or fireworks display, Wangfujing hosted no official celebrations of any kind. Even the outdoor screens, typically used for advertisements, were turned off.

As midnight approached, people were left counting down to the New Year in front of blank screens. Many attendees expressed disappointment, describing the experience as awkward and lacking the festive atmosphere they had anticipated.
