“This is my third year watching Shen Yun. I love Shen Yun. I think classical Chinese dance is so fantastic. … The design of all the clothes and the storytelling is so magnificent, it is beyond words.”

“I think it really sent a message of... being good, and there is a difference between good and evil, and there is a heaven.

“I think it ties in with so many other religions that through that and through music, through the dance, we are really all the same. We may be different nationalities, but we believe in good, and we know the difference. And I think that is a really important lesson to take from [the performance].”

“I think sharing and showing compassion, defining what is good, is important. We each can do our part, and as we do our part, then it will expand out, and hopefully it will change the tide.”
