PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—Shen Yun Performing Arts performed at the Miller Theater on March 10 to an enthralled audience. Councilwoman Cindy Bass presented a citation to Shen Yun and expressed her high regard for the performance.
“I love the show,” Ms. Bass said.
“It’s very important that we know history, that we celebrate everyone’s culture, that we recognize how important culture is, and that we lift it up.
Ms. Bass said she appreciated the colors in the performance as well as the talent of the dancers.
The stories presented in the dances brought Chinese history to life. Ms. Bass said they were “excellent ... very well thought out, very easy to understand, and very timeless.”
These are stories that touch everyone, she said. These are “something everybody can relate to regardless of age, race, generation.”
Ms. Bass said that freedom of belief is very important to her and was saddened that freedom of belief is oppressed in China.
Beautiful Message
Ms. Bass said she resonated with the theme presented in Shen Yun that kindness will be rewarded, and evil punished.“I believe that. I believe that in scripture and in our faith belief system that when you do right, good things come to you. When you do good, you get good. And when you don’t do good, it speaks for itself.”
She hoped that everyone would try to improve and help each other. “We all should be striving to be better individuals, people, citizens—that’s really what it’s all about. You know, help each other out. We have to reach out, each one teach one, each one help one. We can all be better for it.”
Ms. Bass heartily recommended Shen Yun to everyone. She said it was “the best show I’ve seen in a long time. [It’s] something that’s really going to lift people’s spirits and that they have to come see.”
“It’s an experience. It’s more than just a show. It’s an experience.
“It’s wonderful. It was really very inspiring. It taught a lot of history—gave a lot of really good information. It was inspiring. I really can’t wait to tell people that they have to come back and see this show next year.”
Ms. Bass expressed her gratitude for the experience. “Thank you so much for having me here today. It was really awe-inspiring. It was fantastic. And I can’t wait to come back and see it again. I'll get my tickets early next year. Absolutely.”
“I’m going to be back, I can tell you already. I know I’m going to be back next year. I’m going to bring family. I’m going to bring friends. Everybody has to see Shen Yun,” she said.
