BUSAN, South Korea—A sinology professor at Pusan National University said he understood something very profound from watching Shen Yun Performing Arts. He said a new world is being built, and the door to enter the new world is to be a kind person.

“In the history of world civilizations, truthfulness, compassion, and tolerance were common concepts people pursued,” he said. “Compassion means being kind. Tolerance includes withstanding pressure and sticking to one’s values until the end. Then we will be accepted by a beautiful world. The new world is inside truthfulness, compassion, and tolerance.”

“I can feel that Shen Yun presenting the long-standing culture through dance movements,” he said.

Mr. Kim said human beings are facing an unprecedented crisis, and he saw a road of hope in Shen Yun.

“The Chinese Communist regime’s virus is trying to harm all of us. We are trying all measures to stop the pandemic. I understood from Shen Yun that this epidemic will be eliminated,” he said. “The force which can solve the issues is the principles that the Creator gave us, which include truthfulness and kindness.”

Mr. Kim said that he understood from Shen Yun that human beings will have a bright future if we can always remember to persevere through true concepts like the three principles when facing hardships and difficulties.

“The light of the Law Wheel [seen in the performance] is sweeping away the darkness and guiding the world toward the right direction,“ he said. ”From Shen Yun, I understand that the good and the kind will overcome evil’s suppression, and these people will enter that new world.”

Mr. Kim believes that the concepts of truthfulness, compassion, and tolerance are beyond any single religion, and are actually what all religions aim for.

“Human beings are very depraved. Shen Yun is restoring people’s morality. It shows that divine beings are saving people before they are to perish. This is formidable. I was very touched,” he said.

Mr. Park was impressed by Shen Yun artists’ skills and techniques, but he said he was moved by their cooperation even more.

“The artists coordinated with each other accurately. I saw their restraint. I saw they all tolerate and support others. This is marvelous. I had a great time,” he said.

Mr. Park was surprised by the dynamic backdrop, which was technologically advanced and matched the traditional classical Chinese dance perfectly.

“The technique is superb. It’s fabulous,” he said.

“The colors, the dances are extraordinary. This is an admirable performance,” she said. “I was very impressed. All dancers took each movement very seriously, and their expressions are very honest and touching.”

“From the beginning, I felt the program is working to purify our souls. I felt like I was returning to my hometown, and my soul was fully purified in the end,” she said with a big smile.

Ms. Kim appreciated that Shen Yun artists traveled from New York to Busan in order to deliver an inspiring and uplifting performance to the Korean people.

“I want to invite more people to attend the show,” she said. “I hope Shen Yun artists can keep on performing.”
