MIAOLI, Taiwan—A Taiwanese diplomat in education who serves as the president of a cultural association enjoyed Shen Yun at the Miaobei Art Center in Miaoli on Feb. 26. He said Shen Yun presents “very pure Chinese culture,” which is “rarely seen in the world.”

“Shen Yun shows the beauty of traditional Chinese culture and universal values by using dance,” said Mr. CJ Liu. “It’s encouraging to see upright people beat the evil in the dance. We should cherish these values, such as freedom, democracy, etc.”

Mr. Liu is the president of Association of International Cultural and Educational Exchange Taiwan (AICEE Taiwan). He was director of the International Culture and Education Division of Taiwan Education Ministry, and has worked as a diplomat in education in Washington and New York  and London.

Attending Shen Yun, Mr. Liu was impressed with the perfection achieved through the cooperation between Shen Yun dancers and musicians.

He felt happy to see a show that presents the pure Chinese culture.

Mr. Liu said he hopes more people can attend Shen Yun and know the Chinese culture.

New York-based Shen Yun is the world’s top classical Chinese dance company, and has a mission to show the beauty and goodness of “China before communism.”

“With the dynamic backdrop in the back, the live orchestra under the stage, and the dancers dancing on the stage, Shen Yun took me into these historical stories,” said Mr. Kuang Meng-lin. “It’s majestic! It’s astounding!”

“In the dance which talked about several students who couldn’t finish the poem, and Confucius tried to enlighten them to work for the people … This dance resonated with my heart,” said Mr. Kuang. “As a staff member of the government, I frequently tell my staff to be kind to people and that our job is helping people.”

“The times keep changing … But what is the best way? I think we have to identify it,” he said. “This performance really inspires us. You just sit there and watch, and you will arrive at a different understanding. I think this is positive energy.”

Mr. Kuang felt Shen Yun suitable for all people, and he was glad that he saw it with his family.

“All dances are very enchanting. I really love them,” said Mr. Kuang. “This world-class show is very well worth seeing.”

Mr. Huang said Shen Yun female dancers were “like heavenly maidens,” very elegant and graceful, and the male dancers were very valiant.

“Shen Yun is at the highest artistic level, and in the most natural way, it brings positive energy to our daily lives,” he said. “The music is played by Western instruments and Eastern instruments. The instruments matched each other so harmoniously, and the music perfectly presents the stories.”

Mr. Huang said he was touched to tears when he saw the stories that highlighted values such as loyalty and respect.
