HIROSHIMA, Japan—The Shen Yun Performing Arts New York Company arrived in Hiroshima, Japan on Sunday, Feb. 19, starting its third leg of the tour in Japan at the Cultural Exchange Center in Hiroshima.
New York-based Shen Yun brings authentic and pure traditional Chinese culture to the world.
Accompanied by his wife, Hiroshima Councilor Mr. Tetsuo Doi watched a performance of Shen Yun and then, took the reporter’s hand and said excitedly, “I watched Shen Yun show for the first time. I never thought that a performance could be so unique. It was completely beyond what my imagination was capable of, and it was sure a big surprise for me. As soon as the curtain opened, the colorful, bright stage was so fascinating that I was totally carried away, as if it contained vibrant elements full of energy. It brought the audience indescribable joy and excitement.”
As a lover of classical Chinese dance, Mr. Doi said, “The level of group and solo dances was so superb that the performance on the stage was overwhelming. The dances performed by female actors were very gentle, elegant, brisk, but full of vitality.”
After thinking it over a bit, he said that the synchronization of the Chinese and Western musical instruments was innovative. Sitting just one step away from the full orchestra, he was fully immersed in its melodious world. “It’s so wonderful! So great!”
Mr. Doi lamented that such authentic traditional Chinese culture has been totally destroyed in mainland China, and said it was a pity that Shen Yun is unable to perform in mainland China.
