HSINCHU, Taiwan—Shen Yun Performing Arts performed in Hsinchu on March 19 for the first time. The show was praised by local politicians and celebrities. Former president of “Youth Daily News,” and chairman of the Military Service Station, Hsinchu City, Cheng Yiqun, praised the performers’ facial expressions and elegant temperament. He appreciated that in their gestures and movements, the performers moved and purified the audience members’ hearts.

Mr. Cheng is a major general. He was former president of Youth Daily News and deputy director of the Military Spokesman Office of the Ministry of National Defense R.O.C. (MND). The first sentence he said during the break was, “This is a world-class performance.”

From the very beginning of the show, where gods and Buddhas come to the world to create civilization 5,000 years ago to the enthusiastic Tibetan dance [Dance of the Snow-Capped Mountain], Mr. Cheng thought that Shen Yun successfully combined the spiritual and the arts, which is rarely seen in Taiwan. He said the contents of the programs were close to people’s lives, so it’s easy to get into society. He felt that the show suited both refined and popular tastes.

Recalling the whole show, Mr. Cheng especially sensed a feeling of “being purified.” He carefully pondered where this feeling came from. He thought that it was from the performers’ gestures and movements. Not only the dances themselves gave people the feeling, but also most important of all was the performers’ facial expressions and their elegant and supreme temperament, which prevailed in the whole show and purified people’s hearts.

Youth Daily News is a professional military news agency. It provides timely military news to the armed forces and the public.
