KAOHSIUNG, Taiwan—Shen Yun Performing Arts New York Company gave its final performance in Kaohsiung at the National Sun Yat-sen University Sun Yat-sen Hall on the afternoon of March 18. Among the audience was Tung Wei, renowned instructor of the International Project Management Professional, and associate professor of the Graduate Institute of Marketing and Logistics/Transportation, National Chiayi University. “[Shen Yun] conveys Chinese culture, [it is] very meaningful,” he said.
Seeing Shen Yun for the first time, Tung Wei said: “The beauty of Chinese culture is skillfully conveyed through dance. I consider it well worth our time to come to see the show. The performance by young performers particularly highlights the meaning of passing down culture[through the generations].”
Tung Wei said he was fond of the program Joyful Little Monks, at the end of which little monks turned around, smiling in a lively and delightful way. He also highly admired the well-designed stage prop and costumes in the program Lotus Leaves. “It looked as if the lotus leaves were flying,” he said.
Full of praise for the high-tech animated backdrops, he said, “The backdrops are skillfully integrated into the performance, with figures descending from the backdrop to the stage. The connection is terrific.”
He also enjoyed the lyrics of the songs sung by the solo vocalists. He said, “I could sense the meaning of the lyrics, very meaningful.”
Shen Yun Orchestra ‘Awe-inspiring’
Also among the audience were Lin Yufa, president of Taiwan Sugar Federation of Trade Union, and his wife.
Starting a journey by train at 6 a.m. from Taitung to Kaohsiung, the couple showed up at the theater for their first Shen Yun performance.
Particularly impressed with the Shen Yun Orchestra, Mr. Lin said, “The live orchestral performance is really awe-inspiring, creating a musical domain with the acoustic effects. Really awe-inspiring.”
