TAICHUNG, Taiwan—Commissioner of Yunlin County, Su Zhifen, led 108 teachers who teach culture and art in Yunlin County, to watch the first show of Divine Performing Arts (DPA) in Taichung on March 4. After watching the show, all of them happily took photos in the hall to keep a momento of the wonderful evening. Commissioner Su praised DPA for combining gods’ will and everything in the human world through dances, saying it is fabulous.

Though the performers’ dances and vitality greatly delighted the audience, Ms. Su kept praising the director of the show, saying, “Really great!”

She said that DPA transmitted the traditional Chinese moral of fidelity, filial piety, integrity, and righteousness with history and legends through dances. Moreover, the atmosphere represented throughout all the dances was peaceful and gentle.

“The director is really great. Who indeed is the hero?” she laughed.

“I think watching DPA’s show, everyone will be very moved.” She said that in addition to the beauty represented through the dances, the state manifested in the show made people feel that if there is really a world other than the human world, it is what people look forward to.

“Maybe there’s really another world waiting for us,” Ms. Su said, seriously pondering the world represented by DPA.

Ms. Su had sympathy for the program, Heaven Awaits Us Despite Persecution. She said that there must be freedom of religion and faith, and political power shouldn’t interfere with it.

She said that because of her family background, she had been confronted with many good and bad things in her life. “I’m long used to pains. However, while enduring pains, if I have faith, it must be able to help me go through them,” she said firmly.

Ms. Su praised DPA for giving society positive messages. “We hope to see it coming every year,” she said.

DPA takes its inspiration from 5,000 years of Chinese culture and has many ethnic Chinese dancers and dances depicting Chinese myths and legends.
