Official statement:

According to the authorization of Tencent Film Culture Communication Co., Ltd., New Classics Television Culture Investment Co., Ltd. and related rights holders, the official authorized platforms for the TV series "Celebrating Yu Nian" (Season 1) are Tencent Video and iQiyi. Since November 26, 2019, the series has been broadcast on Tencent Video and iQiyi, and the on-demand volume and word-of-mouth have been rising. So far, more than half of the series has been broadcast. We sincerely thank the audience for their love.

In order to protect the copyright of the drama from infringement, the rights holder has carried out strict monitoring and rights protection work in conjunction with the legitimate broadcasting platform since the show was broadcast online. During the monitoring, we found on December 9, 2019 that someone on the Internet had illegally sold and disseminated pirated content of the TV series "Celebrating More Than Years" (Season 1) through the Internet without the permission of the rights holder, and carried out large-scale infringement and piracy. The rights holder has reported the case to the public security organs and demanded that the relevant responsible persons be held criminally responsible. The public security organs are now filing a case for investigation. Our legal rights protection team has also launched rights protection measures and investigated its infringement, while reserving the right to claim compensation for losses.

On the evening of December 19, 2019, we discovered that someone on the Internet once again illegally sold and distributed pirated content of the TV series "Celebrating More Than Years" (Season 1) through the Internet without the permission of the rights holder, and intensified the infringement and piracy. This behavior seriously disrespects the creators and is an irreparable harm to the rights holders, the legitimate broadcasting platforms and the audience. In response, the rights holders and the legitimate broadcasting platforms expressed severe condemnation and ordered the infringers to stop the infringement immediately. We also remind the audience not to buy or spread infringing content.

The above-mentioned acts of the infringer not only seriously disrupted the normal broadcasting order of the TV series "Celebrating Yu Nian" (Season 1), infringed the legitimate rights and interests of the right holder, but also suspected of constituting criminal offenses, copyright infringement, and commercial secret infringement. The right holder once again reported the case to the public security organs and the people's court and filed a case.

Regarding the pirated resources of the entire TV series "Celebrating Yu Nian" (Season 1) currently spreading on the Internet, our legal rights protection team has once again launched rights protection measures to investigate their infringement and reserve the right to claim compensation for losses.

At the same time, we also call on the general audience and netizens to watch the TV series "Celebrating More Than Years" (Season 1) through the legally authorized platforms of Tencent Video and iQiyi, and jointly resist illegal acts such as infringement and piracy to maintain the normal broadcast order. Do not read, believe, or forward information that illegally disseminates infringing content. If you find any illegal behavior, you can report it to the right holder through the official Weibo of the TV series "Celebrating More Than Years". Support the genuine version and "Celebrating More Than Years" with your own practical actions.

The TV series "Celebrating More Than Years" started filming on January 31, 2018 and wrapped up on July 22. All the crew members have worked hard for 173 days and nights to present this painstaking work to everyone. We sincerely hope that "I will be lucky enough to meet you in the rest of my life" and express our heartfelt thanks for your attention and support! I hope everyone will unite as one to fight against infringement and piracy! Thank you all from the bottom of my heart again!

This is to declare.
