CALGARY, Canada—Company owner Thomas Ness returned to the Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium on April 16 to enjoy Shen Yun Performing Arts for the third time.
Mr. Ness said what kept bringing him back were the vibrant colors and the stories the artists told.
Mr. Ness loved learning about traditional Chinese culture.
“I like how Chinese culture is calm, it’s calming. I want to learn more about the Chinese culture, so I come [here] and then I meet people and we chat ... to open my eyes more,” he said.
“It is advanced because it’s so much older, like the Chinese philosophies and the way of life and family. To see the show—it’s so entertaining with the colors and the music and the storytelling,” he said.
For 5,000 years, China’s civilization flourished under the shared belief that the divine will bless those who uphold traditional moral values. Tragically, within just a few decades of the communist party’s violent takeover, these beliefs were erased and replaced with atheism.
The mission of Shen Yun artists is to return to the world’s stage—the glory and beauty of China’s 5,000 years of divinely inspired culture.
Mr. Ness is excited that Shen Yun is sharing the spiritual values cherished by the Chinese people before communism, because people were free back then.
“They were free to live and have their family, and they seem more connected with the earth, too,” he said.
