“Shen Yun is knowledgeable, educational, and multi-faceted. Shen Yun shows us universal values,” she said.
“You won’t know what you missed in your life if you haven’t seen [Shen Yun],” Ms. Pitts commented. “The show brings people beautiful art, vitality, and happiness, as well as humankind’s universal values. Each of us can relate to Shen Yun.”
The full house included many dignitaries. Some of the audience members dressed in traditional Chinese attire or ethnic dresses to attend the performance, showing their respect and appreciation for Shen Yun.
‘All Shen Yun programs are impressive’
Ambassador Lu Ching-long said Shen Yun can improve audiences’ immunity, which is important during the pandemic.“Facing the epidemic, people are nervous and even scared. Shen Yun’s dances are very life-like. It can calm down the people and relax our souls,” said Mr. Lu, a veteran diplomat and former Taiwan representative to France. “When our hearts relax, we can receive more positive energy from the performance. It can improve our overall health, including body, mind, and soul.”
Miguel Magalhães, director of the Commercial Office of Brazil in Taiwan, watched Shen Yun and said: “This is the most fascinating show I have seen in Taiwan. I’m very happy now. All Shen Yun programs are impressive. I enjoyed every moment!”
Magalhães said good arts can bring people hope. Shen Yun is good in culture, art, color, and all the other aspects.
Ambassador Stanley Kao, former Taiwan representative to the United States, said his heart and soul were purified by Shen Yun. “Shen Yun is a high-level performance. It’s amazing!”
‘It’s a visual and auditory feast’
Calligrapher Hung Chi-I is famous in both Taiwan and Mainland China. He said he was moved by Shen Yun.“The performance is grand. I even can’t find a word to describe it. I feel moved and cheerful,” Mr. Hung said. “Shen Yun presents the good parts of China’s 5000 years of culture. It’s a visual and auditory feast we Taiwanese people are very lucky to enjoy.”
Chang Hung-yun is the chief executive of Chang Chung Ching Culture and Educational Foundation.
“People are key when inheriting a traditional culture. I can imagine the difficulties that Shen Yun overcame in finding so many talented people and training them to become great artists.” Mr. Chang said.
