“What they do, the singing, the dancing ... with such love! It’s incredible,” said Mauro Zanazzi, visibly happy and moved.

He said he was convinced the artists of New York-based Shen Yun perform “with a desire to share what they think, and the Chinese tradition with such a strength of soul and love, that we should imitate them.”

“Everyone, all young people should imitate them to transmit the traditions of each people to the whole world,” he said.

Via the performance, Mr. Zanazzi “felt the desire and the strength that they transmit with the movements, the dances, and the music too.”

“I had tears in my eyes because it is a really beautiful emotion!” he said.

“They are young people ... they are young people who do all this, and the love that they use, that they have to do this, the strength! And always with a high level of professionalism, because they did not learn to do this only yesterday.”

“It is sure that those who taught all this to these young people, learned it from the masters before them ... from the ancestors who passed it on to them, it’s beautiful,” Mr. Zanazzi said.

“That’s what I’m thinking about ... Not only should China do it in the world, but every country in the world should pass on and make their traditions known, everything that’s important ... and not forget what the ancestors did to get to this point,” said Mr. Zanazzi.

“It’s really unique and for me it’s the first time... unique in the world I think! You really have to appreciate it. It’s a show that you absolutely have to see!”
