ATLANTA—Nationally prominent immigration lawyer Dale Schwartz saw Shen Yun Performing Arts at the Cobb Energy Centre on March 9. He said: "Oh, it’s wonderful, fabulous dance … I love it. Everybody that I know that has seen the show from different cities, has told me how much they love it. I’m really glad to be here tonight."
Mr. Schwartz appreciated the beauty he saw. Speaking of the costumes, he said: "Oh, they are beautiful. The colors are fabulous. Chinese dance has always been a fabulous thing… this production is very, very good. These people are good. They are very sophisticated.”
He has traveled to Xian and seen the Terracotta Army which is featured in the dance Recalling the Great Qin. Mr. Schwartz said Xian was a beautiful place and praised that dance. “I loved that. It looked just like the real ones in Xian.”
He said it was his “first time seeing this show. My wife was supposed to be with me, but she’s in California now, with one of my daughters. She couldn’t come tonight, but I’m going to tell her she missed a really great show.”
Chinese culture has a concept of affinity or predestined relationship. Mr. Schwartz might illustrate the concept, for he had a fateful part to play in the life of an Epoch Times reporter, Louis Lu.
He said he has many Chinese clients who practice Falun Gong, currently oppressed in China and featured in some Shen Yun dances. “We have gotten political asylum for many of these people in the United States.
"It’s a wonderful thing to be able to help a family like that. They are really nice people.”
He spoke of the old saying that 'any time a person saves one life, it is as if he saved the world,'" Mr. Schwartz said.
"We help, we try to help people from all over the world like that, but right now especially from China. It’s serious things going on there now.”
Mr. Schwartz said he is grateful to have the opportunity to help anyone. “I can’t change all of China over night, but I can maybe help a few families get freedom. That’s what makes what I do so rewarding, I enjoy it a lot.”
He said the Shen Yun presentation was "just all wonderful.”
