Lau, famous for his roles in movies like "Infernal Affairs" and "House of Flying Daggers", will sing "Journey to Home".

He spoke in a recent interview with CCTV.

"I wish everyone a smooth journey home and be happy in the new year. See you at the CCTV Spring Festival Gala."

The song tells the story of Chinese people migrating thousands of miles to reunite with their families.

Yang Lailai, executive director of the 2015 CCTV New Year Gala says the song is about the true meaning of home.

"One of the lyrics is 'Going home is happiness. Happiness is felt when you hug parents'. You can see it is a really warm song. What's more, all the lyrics were written by Andy Lau himself. So the song reflects his personal feelings and his understanding of what home means."

Lau is joining the line-up for the fourth time in his career, although this marks the first time he has performed at the gala in 10 years.
