President of Art Association: ‘Inspirations from legends can purify the heart’

CHIAYI, Taiwan—Yang Hongfei, president of Chiayi City Literary and Art Association, attended Shen Yun Performing Arts 2009 World Tour premiere in Chiayi on March 10 with her older brother, Yang Hsiungfei, a consultant for the association.

Ms. Yang said that she was amazed by the solid foundation of the artists and the various ethnic dances.

The association, founded 20 years ago, has created a platform for nurturing new artists, studying theories and encouraging artistic productions. It also holds an annual large-scale exhibition.

“The most touching program for me was Heaven Awaits Us Despite Persecution. It made me feel that persecution should not exist in this world. People on their path to divinity are determined and have the good intention to get to heaven. This also presented the old saying, ‘good is rewarded and evil is punished.’ It left a deep impression.

“The inspirations from legends can purify the heart. Society needs kindness and harmony. The persecution needs to end.”
