YUANLIN, Taiwan—”Shen Yun is marvelous! I was touched in different ways every time I watched Shen Yun,” said artist Wu Huifeng, who has seen the show twice in two weeks.

Mr. Wu saw Shen Yun in Hui-Sun Auditorium in Taichung on March 8. On March 24, he went to with friends to Yuanlin Performance Hall, Changhua County, to watch Shen Yun again. Mr. Wu said that he sat in the seventh row this time, so he could clearly see the details on stage. He thought Shen Yun was really fabulous. He had different feelings every time he saw the show. He was most impressed that the performers gave the most beautiful smiles to the audience.

“Because of my job, I’m used to having a serious expression. I saw every performer of Shen Yun wore a bright smile. This is what I should learn from them. Smiling is good for health, and it can bring joys to others as well,” said the artist.

He said that Dance of the Snow-Capped Mountain was very beautiful. “The performers’ brown and white costumes harmonize with the colors of the backdrop. It created beautiful color tones. I sat in the 22nd row last time in Hui-Sun Auditorium. So I could only appreciate the stage effect as a whole. Today, I sat in the front. I noticed that the design of the backdrop was exquisite.”

After watching the first half, Mr. Wu said the composition of the dance, and the rhythm of the music greatly inspired and enhanced his creativity for painting.

As to what program or performers impressed him most, he said, “It’s really remarkable that the leading performers could lift their legs so high at the back of the stage.” After the show concluded, he said excitedly that one should sit in the front row when watching Shen Yun. Since he saw it so clearly today, he was delighted.

“I noticed something tonight that I didn’t pay attention to the last time [he saw the show]. The lights of Mongolian Chopsticks were fantastic. The lights represented the sense of a three-dimensional stage. They fully expressed the sense of the space that they wanted to represent. That was really miraculous! The rhythms of Mongolian Chopsticks were unique. It was soft with strength, which impressed me deeply. I’ll also see it twice if Shen Yun performs in two places in central Taiwan again next year,” he said.
