“Originally, I just wanted to come here to check out the dance performance [by Shen Yun],” said Eguchi Mitsuru. “It turned out that this is a high-level performance.”
“It is so beautiful,” she praised. “Their skills are really very high that they are practically beyond the limits of the human body.”
“I just can’t believe that we humans can do such difficult moves,” she exclaimed.
“The erhu sound is so beautiful as if it were human’s sympathetic and touching voice,” she continued. “It’s our first time to see the fusion of Chinese and Western musical instruments. And the melody of erhu is still lingering in my mind.”
“I perceived the existence of divine beings in several pieces,” Mrs. Eguchi added.
“Yes, there are spiritual contents in the show,” echoed the middle school principal.
The website also explains: “Inspired by 5,000 years of history, our designers create vivid animated settings that truly reflect China’s multifaceted geography, society, regions, and dynasties. Some scenes even transcend this world, bringing you a touch of the heavens.”
“[Shen Yun’s] colors are very beautiful and vibrant,” Eguchi Mitsuru further said. “If [Shen Yun] performs here again next year, we will definitely see the show again.”
Mrs. Eguchi Mitsuru was deeply moved by a piece depicting Chinese Falun Gong adherents’ great compassion and perseverance regardless of the severe persecution perpetrated by the Chinese Communist regime in China. It is a spiritual meditation practice that many of the Shen Yun artists follow themselves.
I “can understand that it is exposing the atrocities of the Chinese Communist regime,” she said. “I really admire the courage of Shen Yun Performing Arts.”
“Watching Shen Yun has changed my stereotype about Chinese culture,” she noted. “I didn’t know the value of traditional Chinese culture until today.”
“It is a pity that Shen Yun still cannot perform in China,” he said. “I hope that Shen Yun can tour all over the world, including China.”
“With Shen Yun’s influence, the world will become more peaceful and beautiful,” he said.
