HOUSTON—On the evening of December 22, Divine Performing Arts awed audiences with its first showing at Houston’s Jesse H. Jones Hall for the Performing Arts. Chinese audience from both mainland China and Texas highly praised the performance, exclaiming that they have never seen such an amazing show before.
The three praised the program, describing it as fresh and touching.
Mr. Wen described the sense of freshness and freedom that he felt while watching the DPA performance as something more intense than what he felt when he first immigrated to the United States.
“This is a type of freshness that I have never had experienced before. It is the type of freedom that sheds all chains and shackles, and provides a relaxed feeling,” said Mr. Wen. “This kind of performance can’t be seen anywhere else in America or China.”
Mr. Wen’s wife, who had been living in the United States for over five years, emotionally said, “Tonight’s performance was truly splendid—splendid isn’t even enough to describe it. These artists are so outstanding, contained, and refined. Even just looking at them makes me feel comfortable and pure.”
Mr. Wen’s friend said that there are greatly talented people in mainland China, but they are subject to the imprisonment of the Communist Party’s culture and are deprived of freedom of creativity. He continued to say that the artists’ creativity, skills, and intelligence have been drowned by the degeneration of the human spirit and morals.
“If it continues like this, all the arts programs in mainland [China] will fall to the level of the Spring Festival show—something that is good-for-nothing, materialistic, and lacks spirituality. Such things only serve to pollute whoever watches them,” said Wen’s friend.
“I believe that tonight’s performance can move people mainly because these performers are different. Undoubtedly, their artistic achievements and techniques are world-class, but more importantly, their hearts are noble and pure—this is the culture of Chinese people.”
