ORANGE PARK, Fla.—The idea of salvation is present in the majority of cultures in the world. Shen Yun Performing Arts is using 5,000 years of Chinese culture to share the importance of believing in the divine.
“If you want to elevate yourself to the next spiritual level, this is the time to get right with your Creator,” said Rod Morris, a project manager.
The couple had waited a decade to see Shen Yun, and it did not disappoint them.
“I just absolutely loved it. The colors, the dancing, the acrobats—I thought it was phenomenal. I’ve been waiting ten years to see this. Thank you. I felt it to be very inspirational,” shared Mrs. Morris.
“The actors did a phenomenal job of expressing themselves through their dance because you didn’t need words. The effects they did with their body, with their motions and the facial expressions, all of that resonated so much,” said Mrs. Morris.
“Your talent is beyond my comprehension. So, thank you for sharing your talent. I know it is all God-given, and it’s wonderful to share it with others,” said Mrs. Morris.
“I appreciate their talent and their sharing that talent with the world. It’s a lot of discipline, a lot of commitment, a lot of traveling. I’m sure it creates some hardships, but the talent and the teamwork creates a wonderful package,” added Mr. Morris.
“The [scene] that resonated with me was the exposing of the organ harvesting that takes place, which is horrendous. That is true evil incarnate—people who would do such a thing. [Shen Yun] will never be seen in mainland China, as long as the Communist Party is in charge,” said Mr. Morris.
He also expressed his support for letting the world know of the CCP’s crimes.
“The world at least is getting exposed to that messaging, and hopefully, that sparks some people to take action and do something about it,” he said.
Mr. Morris was struck by Shen Yun’s presentation of humanity and the importance of upright human ethics. He expressed his belief that there will be a day when the evildoers are punished.
“I believe that our world is a world of hurt right now. I don’t think that things are going in the right direction in many places and for many people. I think the day of reckoning is coming and coming soon. And this show is a great example of demonstrating the urgency of people getting their minds and their hearts in the right place,” he said.
The CCP systematically tore down traditional values in China and replaced them with atheism and hatred. Mr. Morris observed that the same disregard for tradition is happening around the world as well.
“Like one of the scenes said about making choices—we’re all going to have to choose soon. We better choose wisely,” she said.
