KAOHSIUNG, Taiwan—Shen Yun Performing Arts Touring Company put on its final 2013 Kaohsiung performance at the Kaohsiung City Cultural Center on March 5. Among the audience members of this sold-out show was Mr. Huang Jianlong, chairman of the Pingtung China Youth Career Development Association. After seeing the performance, he praised it, saying, “[Shen Yun] demonstrates the essence and profoundness of the Chinese culture.”
Huang Jianlong stated that he had heard of Shen Yun’s popularity for years, but he had missed the opportunity to see the show many times due to being busy with business, and that he was happy to grasp the opportunity this year to see the performance with his wife.
He explained: “Whether it is the dance, music, drama, or singing, there needs to be strength. In addition, there must be good coordination in various aspects, so that they can touch people’s heart directly. There’s no need to have lengthy dialogues, as body language is enough to let the audience clearly understand the implied content.”
“I did not expect that Shen Yun would be able to demonstrate both the essence and the profundity of the Chinese culture. That’s why I was so moved and stunned. Shen Yun is indeed great.” He also stressed that “[Shen Yun] is perfect and impeccable.”
Huang Jianlong further talked about his feeling in the capacity of the chair of the Youth Career Development Association, saying: “Nowadays, a lot of young people just want to chase the fast buck through short cuts. They should come here to see Shen Yun, so as to understand the meaning of ‘ten years of work for every minute on stage.’ As Shen Yun artists performed so wonderfully, they would have devoted tremendous time and effort to the choreography, sound effect, and synchronization of animated backdrops and dancers, etc. so that all of the programs could be connected so seamlessly.”
“Shen Yun has really done something significant, that is, it gets together a group of young people and trains them to be the best [performers], in order to preserve and promote Chinese culture. Shen Yun artists can indeed be a model.”
