DALLAS—Bill Shaddock, owner of The Shaddock Companies and a leading business figure in the North Texas area, attended Shen Yun Performing Arts at the Winspear Opera House on Feb. 24, and left with a deeper appreciation for the 5,000 years of culture Shen Yun brought to life.

I have a newfound appreciation and respect for Chinese culture.

“It’s refreshing, and it’s very nice. I have a newfound appreciation and respect for Chinese culture,” Mr. Shaddock said.
New York-based Shen Yun is the world’s premier classical Chinese dance company, with a mission to show audiences the beauty and goodness of China before communism. For five millennia, dynasty after dynasty, the ancient Chinese believed their culture a gift from the heavens.

Mr. Shaddock appreciated the depth of the experience.

“We have thousands of years, especially Chinese, of learning and understanding. Today, I feel like our current culture doesn’t value of appreciate what thousands of years of knowledge and culture have brought to people,” he said. “I think we should pay attention to that.”

He felt “a greater appreciation for the history of the culture of China,” and he noted that the values from this age-old culture are traditional values held by people of all cultures and ones he hoped the world would come to value again.

“It shows the universality of the culture with all of mankind,“ he said. ”The universality of the human experience.”

“I hope we don’t vary from that. Not just Chinese people, but all kinds of people,” he said. “If we have ultimate peace and harmony in our world, we will value such things as what the Chinese culture tonight is presenting.”
