VANCOUVER, Canada—Business owner Dave McCammon and his partner Nina Dinh, a beauty salon owner, on March 21 attended Shen Yun Performing Arts for the first time at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre.
“It was good; it was a great experience,” he exclaimed.
As one of the oldest civilizations in the world, with a deeply spiritual foundation, China’s 5,000 years of history are filled with breathtaking legends and rich traditions.
Yet, within just a few decades of the Chinese communists’ rise to power, this magnificent culture was nearly all but destroyed. The spread of atheism quickly eradicated Chinese people’s belief in the divine.
Nina Dinh, who joined Mr. McCammon for the afternoon, had tears in her eyes. She thought every part of the show was beautiful.
“I loved the traditional Chinese music and all the beautiful dances. The dancing is phenomenal, and the spiritual part of the show [reflected] people’s connections,” she expressed.
“When I saw my partner crying over one of the moments in the [story], that was special to my heart,” Mr. McCammon stated. “The history and love stories were cool. [The performers] did a really good job.”
“It’s an important message,” he added. “We need to stick to the traditional ways and not fall off the path into the way that we’re headed.”
