BOSTON—It was a mere 250 years ago when America’s Founding Fathers rallied in the squares of Boston, giving this young nation its illustrious start. As many brilliant stories as that short history affords us, compare that with the 5,000 years of China’s civilization before the communist era.

“I love it!” said Mr. Russell. “I’m so impressed with the talent, top to bottom! The orchestra is phenomenal, all of the dancers are incredible and just their ability and the synchronicity of all the performers—everything just is working together really well.”

“It’s terrific because there is so much that’s been wiped away in China, and in the United States with much shorter history, you have the same ‘doing away with the Godly roots,’ the roots that we are from heaven and we are not just of this earth. It is exciting to see this and to see how far back that principle comes from and to know that it’s come back,” said Mr. Russell.

“I wish I could say it in Han or Cantonese because it is so awesome and beautiful—thank you!” he added.
