KAOHSIUNG, Taiwan—On Feb. 28, Shen Yun hosted two consecutive sold-out performances at Chih—The Hall of Kaohsiung Cultural Center. Kaohsiung is famed for its hospitality and the audience eagerly welcomed Shen Yun’s arrival.

“Shen Yun reminded me of the beautiful values that we once possessed,” she said. “The performance did not use complicated words to lecture us on the do’s and don’ts, but rather, you just know that there is something profound that’s worth learning.”

Based in New York, Shen Yun is the world’s premier classical Chinese dance and music company. Its artists are seeking to revive the glory of China’s 5,000 years of history and share through a series of short dance pieces all that is good and beautiful in China before communism.

The name Shen Yun translates directly into “the beauty of divine beings dancing.” Ms. Wu agreed with that description. “The dancers’ body language and their movements are all taken from ancient times. That’s wonderful,” she said.

An artist herself, Ms. Wu paid special attention to Shen Yun’s use of colors.

“Shen Yun’s color schemes were very pure and harmonious. They used a lot of primary colors. From what I know in fine arts, these colors are very bright and present a strong energy,” she said. “When people see these colors, their emotions are immediately lifted up.”

Ms. Wu also felt inspired by the spiritual aspects of Shen Yun and deeply agreed with the traditional belief that “we are all from the heavens.”

“We are here to offer our service to humanity. Each of us has a hidden mission that we must discover. To see this idea presented—it gave me a lot of strength and support.”

Referring to Shen Yun’s storyline dances depicting the ancient wisdom of “good begets good and evil begets evil,” Ms. Wu said that’s what she has always believed.

“This is the divine truth—no matter which God you believe in. The righteous energy and optimism of the performance opened my heart. Shen Yun’s story-based dances are truly great.”

Ms. Wu will definitely be recommending Shen Yun to all her friends and family.

“[The performance] really allows you to calm down—that’s the value Shen Yun brings. It purifies the negativity in our mind and body and allows our spirits to lift up and be happy,” she said.

“I would like to tell the performers ‘good luck’ and to ‘keep up the good work.’ They’re doing a wonderful job and I thank them for that.”
