TAIPEI, Taiwan—Mr. Chang, the CEO of Taiwan’s largest steelmaker, attended the Divine Performing Arts (DPA) show on Feb. 28, and shared his thoughts. “[It was] extremely, extremely impressive.

“I think no matter whether it’s the stage, the costumes, the choreography, or the content, I feel it surpasses standard performances. So I've seen this performance, and it is extremely, extremely illustrious," he continued.

Mr. Chang, who earned his Ph.D. at a famous university in the United States, has been chairman of the board and CEO of a steel company in Taiwan for several years. His business has an annual revenue of close to 200 billion Taiwan dollars.

“I feel most strongly that in every performance, every dance, the inner meaning is abundant. It very easily allows people to feel the inner meaning of this performance, it really comes out.

“What I've felt today is that we Chinese people can put on such an extraordinary performance. Bringing out Chinese culture and using performing arts to express it, this is the pride of the Chinese people. I feel very, very proud.”
