“Nothing that is made without love is good, and when you do shows like this, it really shows and portrays the love, the sacrifices, that goes on behind what this shows,” said Carlos Zaldivar, CEO of an architecture business.

“The show was fantastic. I like the choreography, I like the effects, I like the musicians,” Mr. Zaldivar said.

“The music was amazing, really beautiful, and the instruments of course [are] not very common in San Antonio, especially the old Chinese instruments,” he said.

“Absolutely very inspiring and it is something that we should be able to communicate more to people,” Mr. Zaldivar said. “The closeness that you see in this show with the divine, I think it’s an important connection that we don’t see nowadays. We are flooded with junk on the internet and the media.”

Mr. Zaldivar added that the media and life in general usually have us focused on what is immediately before us instead of looking at the picture as a whole.

“People need to be aware that sometimes, we don’t see beyond our door because,” he said. “It’s good to be involved in our own lives and do our things, go to school or work, make a living, but it’s also good to open the window and see what’s out there and see beyond our walls.”

Shen Yun is a great way to experience more beyond ourselves, he said.

“So I brought all my friends and the kids and these other friends because I wanted them to have the experience of what this show is all about [and] the virtues that this show exemplifies,” he said.
