“The [traditional Chinese] culture is just really beautiful. ...

“Truthfulness, compassion and tolerance are really good values regardless of your culture.”

“I would definitely recommend [Shen Yun] to people. I have brought friends here in the past. This is not my first time. I try to come to see it every year.”

“Every year I cry at some point of the show. ... The persecution—those are the scenes that I tend to tear up at.”
