“This is the first time I watched this show. It’s really exciting. [Shen Yun] preserves history. Showcasing history and keeping it alive helps us appreciate the transition of cultures through time. It gives us an appreciation of what our forefathers did.”

“They shared a lot of [thoughts] on [where their values come from], that’s what this brought out. The dancing and the spiritual value in cultures is what preserves our cultures as we move forward.”
