Kaohsiung Mayor Chen Chi-mai sent a congratulatory message “A Complete Success to A Grand Affair of Art and Culture” to wish Shen Yun a successful tour.
‘Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance Can Purify People’s Hearts’
Lin Tai-hua, a legislator watching Shen Yun for the second time, said, “I think everyone can see that Shen Yun uses very fine and detailed costumes, and an orchestra, incorporating Chinese and Western instruments, to present five thousand years of Chinese traditional culture.”Ms. Lin noted that “The program exhibits the various styles and features of Chinese lives in the South and the North, including those of the Yi ethnic group, the Mongolians, and life in China’s Greater Central Plains.”
She believes that following these core values will purify people’s hearts.
“I believe that to be sincere and kind and to be tolerant of all people and things will purify people’s hearts and elevate human morals; it is beneficial between people and between countries, and I believe it would help reduce the disasters in the world,” she explained.
‘It’s very pleasing to the eye, it’s really wonderful!’
“It’s very pleasing to the eye, it’s really wonderful! This time is very different from the performances (I previously saw), including dance and orchestra performances and everything. Shen Yun incorporates a lot of interactive scenes in the backdrop, which are very lively and dynamic. It’s truly wonderful.” Kaohsiung City Councilor Chen Hui-wen said.“The performance teaches people to be kind and to have benign thoughts. I think this is the spirit that Shen Yun wants to show,” she said.
“After watching the whole performance, I felt very energetic and very happy.”
‘Seeing Shen Yun Makes Me Feel Like Royalty’
Yang Kun-tso, manager of a regenerative medicine technology company, saw Shen Yun for the first time. He was in total awe and said, “I think it’s very special and innovative. All of the dances and the content of the performance are uniquely different from other performances.”Being able to watch such a beautiful performance in the post-epidemic era, Mr. Yang said, “I think it’s very good. It’s rare to see such a performance, I feel quite refreshed. Yes, it’s a whole new experience.”
‘Let the World See the Chinese Traditional Culture’
Mr. Zhang, a mainland tourist who came to Taiwan to visit relatives but was unable to return to China due to the pandemic, had the opportunity to see Shen Yun.“The most touching part is the dance, which has educational significance for young people,” he said. “It is mainly to show the prosperous times of the Qin dynasty, the Han dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty, and to present traditional Chinese culture to the audience of Taiwan.”
‘So beautiful for the eyes to take it all in’
“Today’s program is something that we have never seen before, and the emcees are also terrific! The two are really geniuses,” said Hsu Chu-ju, chairman of I Cheng Thermal Insulation and Refractory Engineering Company.
“I like each and every piece very much, they are all of a high standard, and the animated backdrop adds just the right amount to enhance the experience,” he explained.
He added that the performance was a real eye-opener. “It’s really well-choreographed and put together, and the whole show is a feast for the eyes.”
