“I learned so much, not only the performance... [but also] the messages were absolutely a reality and very touching. You won’t believe the way I feel. In my heart, I feel new. I feel renewed. I’m so glad that I started my new year with Shen Yun. It really fills up my heart, and my whole life will be better.”

“It was worth it. … Money is nothing compared to the value for the spirit, for the spirit mainly. And [it was] educational because I learned so much about the Chinese culture.”

“The message that I got: peace.”

“It was a great start for a new year. … The new year is going to be beautiful.”
