“I was delighted to see the colors, the dances, the moves. I think [what] was most impressive is to realize what’s happening in China—the kind of oppression that is going on—to see that this group of young people has been out there to ... express how God’s created them to perform, and they can’t even do it in their own country. That was kind of amazing to me. That was my take away.”

“I loved both the music, the gal who was playing the erhu, and the singing. My last name means sad one, so I guess it just resonated with me. … But there was also a great joy too, when I see the beauty here, too.”

“[What I would say to the performers is] keep going, keep going, and I think the fact they multiplied [they have five companies now] is really exciting. Continue to travel around the world and continue to multiply!”
