Former County Council Speaker: Shen Yun’s Songs Touched My Heart

TAOYUAN, Taiwan—Shen Yun Performing Arts International Company once again performed to a full house at its fourth show in Taoyuan City on March 14. Former Hsinchu County Council speaker, Zhang Biching, said that she enjoyed the performance and wanted to write down the lyrics of the songs. She said the vocalists’ voices “deeply touched my heart, and sometimes I had tears in my eyes.”

Ms. Zhang especially liked the lyrics performed by the solo vocalists. Their voices and the lyrics with profound meaning touched her heart. Sometimes her tears welled up after listening to the lyrics. She felt that the chaos and disharmony in the present world are something like demons spoiling the peace and calm of the world.

“I myself believe there’s heaven.” Ms. Zhang said, “We should recall the past. Don’t be lost among fame, profit, and sentiment. If we make money, we should do our best to do good deeds within our ability.”

She was most impressed by the program, Our Story, saying that she was inspired by the young teacher who is persecuted for teaching her students important values in life. She thought that only when everyone achieves “truthfulness, compassion, and forbearance,” can people enjoy the peaceful and prosperous world that we all pursue.

Ms. Zhang praised the dancers, the folk stories, the Shen Yun Orchestra, which combines Chinese and Western instruments, and the dynamic digital backdrops, saying, “It’s very beautiful and very powerful."
