“[Shen Yun] gives a unique chance to see and experience Chinese culture in all its variety and fantastic ways,” said Mr. Espersen, a senior member of parliament and the chairman of the church committee of the Danish parliament.

“It is kind of symbolic of the culture that has been removed from China. And so the heart was there, and it was very moving. I was touched by that,” she said.

“Culture is so very important to people, and it must be difficult. That’s why it touched me in the modern scene with the heart being taken out. Even though it’s barbaric, it is symbolic. So it was moving for me,” said Mrs. Espersen.

“Fantastic show and I like this interaction between what’s going on on the screen and what’s taking place on the stage. And how they jump in and out, the picture is fabulous. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like it,” said Mr. Espersen.
