TAIPEI, Taiwan—Since its premiere show in Taoyuan City on March 12, Shen Yun Performing Arts International Company has toured Taiwan and staged its performance in eight cities. Every show was warmly welcomed, with full-house attendance the norm. Shen Yun is performing additional shows in Taipei, and the performance on April 19 too was a full house.
Mr. Wu Weifeng, Chairman of Jin Yuan Industrial Co. Ltd., and his wife, Ms. Pan Xiuqing, Finance Manager of the company, came to see the show together. They said that Shen Yun performance exhibits the culture of China’s various dynasties and it is very worthwhile watching.
A friend had recommended that they see Shen Yun but they missed the performances in early April so were determined to see the show in Taipei this time around. They enjoyed the dancing very much. Mr. Wu said, “The dancing is excellent. Dancers demonstrate outstanding vigor.”
Shen Yun interprets traditional Chinese culture in the form of classical dancing. Mr. Wu observed that the programs were well put together, and Ms. Pan praised Shen Yun, saying, “Symbols such as the Terracotta Army from the Qin dynasty and the Monkey King for the Tang dynasty are used. The show presents the cultural characteristics of various dynasties of ancient China and exhibits Chinese culture effectively.” Ms. Pan believed that, through these programs, even foreigners who are not familiar with Chinese culture would understand the culture easily.
Ms. Pan was amazed by the collocation between the high-tech dynamic backdrop and the performers on the stage. Referring to the program The Monkey King Outwits Pigsy, she said, “The backdrop was so special that it coordinated perfectly with Pigsy.”
Ms. Pan said excitedly, “I think the show is highly worthwhile to watch.” Fascinated by the charms of Shen Yun, she said, “If I remember it right, when I took a taxi ride two or three years ago, the taxi driver told me that I should come and see Shen Yun.”
