“We loved it. We have been reading for a couple of years about it. We were really looking forward to it. What it describes doesn’t compare when you see it. The colors, the lights, the movements, everything. It’s just amazing. It is just breathtaking. It’s just beautiful,” said Mr. Rojas.

“There are a lot of connections there in terms of Creator. I see how much they highlight that. I see how much they try to connect with everything,” he said. “There are so many messages there, it’ll take me a little time to digest. But it’s beautiful. I really understand a lot of things.”

“I know a bit of China, I have been there a couple of times. I love the culture, I love the people. It’s really sad to see what happened when the communist regime started going there. Because they don’t want that, they don’t want to highlight the value of the person,” said Mr. Rojas.

“You can see here, the value of each individual. It’s not your ideology, it’s not what you can do for the regime or not. It’s you as an individual because you’re part of that creation,” he continued.

Mr. Rojas felt that experiencing Shen Yun was a bright change during the pandemic.

“We need more of this. This is the perfect excuse to go out to see people, enjoy their beauty, the colors, the music, you know, celebrate life,” he said.
