For Cory and Valerie Cheever, it was emotionally uplifting.

“I just felt at peace, that there was an energy,” said Mr. Cheever, a graphic designer. “We’ve been so cooped up with COVID and stuff, the world has just been so dark. And with that, it helps feel that you were alive, that we have the Savior that comes to help us, that makes us feel better inside, and just saying that everything is going to be OK.”

Mrs. Cheever said she felt “a connection of coming together” and being part of something bigger.

“The energy, the love, the compassion, and everyone coming together,” she said. “To me, it’s more like I get it, I feel it. There’s no words to express—my inner heart telling me that I just feel connected with everybody in the room.”

“I find beauty in that, and I find so much compassion in that,” she said. “It’s almost like you were in that story.”

“It was almost like, this is what we need and this is what we want, and we want to be able to be a part of that too, to rise up and add hope,” Mrs. Cheever said.

“Everything was just amazing, and I’m glad that I came,” Mr. Cheever said. “Absolutely gorgeous. So full of life, and just very, very amazing.”

Mr. Juan Bustamante felt the artists were messengers.

“It’s like they’re angels from God,” Mr. Bustamante said. “They are sending the message which is coming from their heart.”

He felt it was a message of “connection,” that no matter who you were, where you were from, or what you have done, you are connected in humanity—in a humanity that is “trying to make this society a better society.”

“This show is excellent,” he said. “It’s the expression of the culture which cultures in our society are losing today.”

“This is a glorious inspiration that the Chinese people have not forgotten with all the turmoil that is going on with it within our society,” Mr. Bustamante said. “It is always very important to remember what our ancestors established for us to move forward.”
