“It’s very spiritual, but the Chinese version [of] God. … It brought to light that we’re all one, that we all believe in an almighty. It was a very good feeling,” she shared.
The spread of atheism quickly eradicated the Chinese people’s belief in the divine. The cherished virtues and values learned from the teachings of Buddhism, Daoism, and Confucianism disappeared overnight.
Today, the New York-based Shen Yun is working to revive this lost civilization and bring back to the world through dance and music, the beauty of pre-communist China.
She thought the artists’ mission to bring back the spirituality of traditional China is “extremely important—especially to young people, and people of all ages.”
Shen Yun’s production features a series of short pieces that take the audience on a journey through China’s dynasties and across its vast regions. Through classical Chinese dance, folk and ethnic traditions, and solo musical performances, the company brings to life stories spanning from ancient times to the present day.
The singer “was actually beautiful. She portrayed such a beautiful countenance and I don’t think I saw a microphone. So, she [projects very well] with her song,” Ms. Sierra expressed. I felt “a feeling of warmth coming over me and peacefulness.”
She will definitely be recommending Shen Yun to all her friends and family, and tell them that it is “a must-see.”
“It’s a very, very beautifully portrayed performance,” Ms. Sierra added.
