Top Lawyer Says Shen Yun ‘Really wonderful’

COSTA MESA, Calif.—Shen Yun didn’t disappoint on Sunday at the Segerstrom Center for the Arts at the close of its Southern California tour. In attendance was Robert Younger, an attorney who was selected as one of the top 5 percent of lawyers in California in 2007.

“The show’s wonderful,” said Mr. Younger. “We came two years ago and this show is really meeting our expectations as well. It’s really wonderful.”

A Shen Yun performance is primarily made up of dance pieces that use classical Chinese dance to tell different stories and legends from China’s rich, 5,000-year-old history. One of its signatures is also its splendid handmade costumes, spanning China’s dynasties and various ethnic groups.

“The costumes have really blown us away this year. We thought the costumes were great and the dancing as well,” he said. “We really are having a great time so far.”

Part of Shen Yun’s mission is to bring back China’s culture, which placed special emphasis on virtues and belief in the divine. China is sometimes called the Land of the Divine, because the culture is thought to be divinely imparted.

“We love the cultural part of the show,” said Mr. Younger.

“We brought another relative of ours, whose a high school student who’s really interested in Chinese culture as well, so she’s really enjoyed the show.”

Shen Yun tours the world with three companies, using dance and music to impart and inspire the richness of Chinese culture to people around the world.
