Mr. and Mrs. Chavez said that they were on the edge of their seats with joy as they watch the performance.
“I am overwhelmed by this,” said Mr. Chavez, in public relations in the federal government aviation field. “I am totally gratified and this was very well worth coming to visit and to see. I brought my wife with me and she is also having a wonderful experience.”
When asked what best describes the show, he remarked, “Captivating, educational, beautiful and very enchanting.” It was also seen as moving and outright entertaining.
He was drawn to the beauty of the history and he hoped it was a learning experience and entertaining for those who have never seen anything like this before.
“Knowing what was explained on each event as the performers performed the gracefulness, and the beauty, and seeing other programs that I have from my own culture and how it’s explained, it compares very, very much, so … that a person who has never seen this before can have somewhat of a feeling of what it must be like to have been born in a country that has been around for many of thousands of years and how they’ve evolved with their customs and been able to keep it around and express it with such beauty.”
One of his favorites was Heaven Awaits Us Despite Persecution. "Oh beautiful."
This piece depicts an innocent father who is persecuted to death by Chinese Communist Party for practicing Falun Gong, a traditional spiritual discipline.
Mr. Chavez said that it showed how people "deal with adversity but how there’s hope and where everybody goes to in the end. That was my favorite because I felt and I believe this strongly in my heart that the hereafter is where life really begins. And we go through this struggle on this earth and it was explained very beautifully and how the family stays together and shows their beliefs by expression that was shown. And that to me is very, very powerful."
He noted that he would describe all the aspects of the show (dancers, singers) with the exclamation: “Oh all the loveliness was absolutely great." Mr. Chavez ended the interview by saying, "I only wish I could speak the language, so I could understand better.”
