Famous comedian Zhao Benshan will not perform on this year's "CCTV Spring Festival Gala" due to his discontent about the script.

A brief notice published the afternoon of Jan. 18 on the official China Central Television (CCTV) blog stated that Zhao had quit because of his perfectionism.

It is the second time Zhao has abandoned China's main Spring Festival stage as most Chinese people will gather around their television sets to watch the Spring Festival Gala on Chinese Lunar New Year's Eve, which falls on Feb. 9 this year.
