“We loved the performance. We especially liked the music because we are very familiar with the instruments, so it was really wonderful to see the combination of the Chinese instruments with the traditional [Western] ones.”

“We liked how they [emcees] were explaining the history of [China] as they were talking. We really appreciated that very much.”

“The audience really liked the unique handling of the handkerchiefs [‘Soaring Handkerchiefs’ dance]. They had never seen that before.”

“We did like the emotional piece at the end. We liked it a lot.”

“I [saw in the performance] the values that everyone has with tradition. ... [People celebrate] the same values all over the world. I think we all have the same values.”

“I had goosebumps.”
