TAINAN, Taiwan—Mr. Chu Tung-Shou brought more than ten of his children and grandchildren to see Shen Yun Touring Company on March 17, and not just to give them a treat. He believes the experience will uplift them.
This was the third time Mr. Chu has attended Shen Yun. He said, “Seeing Shen Yun can prevent people from deteriorating and help them become kinder.”
Mr. Chu is a councilor of Taiwan Provincial Consultative Council and supervisor of the Shen Geng Culture Foundation. He was an elected representative in the National Assembly in Taiwan.
Mr. Chu has seen many fine arts performances and of them all, “Shen Yun is the most outstanding and amazing.” According to him, in this time of moral degeneration, only Shen Yun’s stories and songs are truly bright and positive. They can cleanse people’s minds. That was why he brought his children and grandchildren to the performance with him.
Mr. Chu admired the dance An Unexpected Encounter, because “It allows me to feel the kindness and peacefulness in Falun Gong practitioners.”
To him, the variety and richness of the performance stood out. “Each program is unique and the dancing is exquisite. The precise coordination between the artists is incredible,” said Mr. Chu.
He liked the storytelling. “Each scene is a surprise, especially in the programs where Shen Yun so vividly presents the characters in Journey to the West and Outlaws of the Marsh.” Every year the Shen Yun artists select different stories from classical Chinese literature and history.
In the end, Mr. Chu said, “Shen Yun is a very high end art group and I will encourage people I know to come.”
