“I’m loving the performance! … It’s very educational for me. We get so conditioned today, to be entertained by Hollywood, where you go in and sit down and they have the movies. This is a new experience for me. This is real art, real culture. It is very informative. I’m learning so much about the Chinese culture that I didn’t know.”

“With this, you have the beauty, the culture, the color, the music. It’s all live. It’s the real thing, it’s the real art … These are real artists, people who have a tremendous amount of talent, and I’m enjoying it.”

“I’m hoping that maybe this performance will help bring Americans, the USA, up to a better understanding of what’s going on [in China] and maybe we can implement a little change.”
