VANCOUVER, Canada—Members of Vancouver’s Chinese community appreciated the portrayal of China’s ancient culture and history depicted in the Shen Yun Performing Arts production they attended Saturday afternoon at Queen Elizabeth Theatre.
Mr. Ma, who attended the performance with his daughter, said that only New York-based Shen Yun could expound China’s true traditional arts.
“I am very moved and proud [to be Chinese],” he said.
“The classical Chinese dances in the performance show the deep profundity and inner meaning of Chinese culture. The ethnic dances were so down-to-earth, beautiful, and likeable.”
“The backdrops, the costumes, the choreography are all exquisite,” he continued.
“The music from Shen Yun’s orchestra was a thrilling, beautiful complement. When the emcees introduced the Chinese instruments, I was amazed how perfectly they paired with the Western instruments.”
His daughter was also captivated by her Shen Yun experience.
“Shen Yun is such a delight and is jam-packed with deep messages. As a Chinese person sitting in the audience, I feel proud and honoured,” she said.
