OMAHA, Neb.—Some people take their freedom for granted while others abuse their freedom. However, for the people of China, freedom is something to hope for.

“I’m for freedom. I’m against communism. And I would love to see China free,” said Doug Einung, a real estate investor, after seeing Shen Yun Performing Arts at the Orpheum Theater.

Having visited China, Mr. Einung is familiar with the oppression of the CCP. His student guide, while he visited, always avoided being seen by the local police because he didn’t want to be seen with Americans.

“The message I get is that these people love freedom and wish their country was free. And I’m all for freedom also. I’m worried about our country losing its freedom—losing my freedom here,” he shared.

“I come every time [Shen Yun] comes to Omaha, I try not to miss it,” he said.

Shen Yun’s artists are trained in classical Chinese dance, one of the most athletic and challenging dance systems.

“I come because they’re so excellent. They’re skilled. I mean, you can see the practice they put into it, the work, the precision. It’s amazing. I can’t do that. I could never. It’s a joy to see such excellence,” stated Mr. Einung.

“The long sleeves. That is amazing. And how they have that long sleeve out there, and then they bring it back into their hand. How do you do that? It’s amazing. And they all do it together, and nobody messes up,” he remarked.

“There’s 12 or 13 out there, and I haven’t seen one of them make a mistake. How’s that possible?” said Mr. Einung.
