KEELUNG, Taiwan—”Excellent!” was the one word that Chung-Hung Wang, Department of Transportation Tourism Director of Keelung City, used to describe the Shen Yun performers after seeing Shen Yun Performing Arts Touring Company perform at the Keelung Cultural Center on March 23.
Delightedly, he said: “The choreography was very good. The dance, culture, and history of China were fully demonstrated by the programs, which illustrate various ethnic characteristics, literary stories and contemporary facts incorporated with cultural heritage. Shen Yun has carried forward the orthodox spirit and provided a glance of Chinese culture to the world.”
Chung-Hung Wang said he was amazed by the singing programs. “The singing programs shook my heart because they delivered the historical heritage and beliefs.”
He said, “We ought to help others more. That is a Chinese spirit of helping the needy.”
Mr. Wang also indicated that “two years ago when Shen Yun toured Keelung it brought a sensation. This year, the Keelung Department of Transportation and Tourism promoted a one-day trip along with Shen Yun Performing Arts’ program. I hope we can continue this type of promotion for future Shen Yun tours to Keelung.”
Accordingly, this one-day trip offers a boat tour to Keelung harbor and a Shen Yun tour show in the evening. Four hundred tourists were attracted to the trip and brought many tourists to Keelung in just a few days.
He stressed that the beautiful night scene in Keelung offers one of the best leisure entertainments. He said, “I hope more people will see Shen Yun. I also hope by collaborating with Shen Yun’s tour, we will be able to promote the tourism industry in Keelung.”
‘Spreading the power of great wisdom and courage’
On March 24, renowned chief prosecutor Liu Chengwu watched Shen Yun Performing Arts Touring Company at the Keelung City Cultural Center in Keelung City, Taiwan. He praised the show, saying that it was a realm of great wisdom and courage.
“Shen Yun has presented numerology, philosophy, emotion, and great wisdom and courage, all in one show. This is a show worthy of admiration and promotion,” said Mr. Liu.
Mr. Liu, who has done much research into heaven, earth, and people, said that he has seen in Shen Yun “the balance of mind and body … In addition, [Shen Yun] is diverse and ever-changing.”
“Not very many people can put all these elements together,” said Mr. Liu. “But Shen Yun has done it.”
“I really feel the time, effort, and creativity that Shen Yun puts in for every scene,” said Mr. Liu. “In this world of impermanence, who can say that they’ve experienced balanced emotion, rationale, knowledge, and humanity? Only Shen Yun has reached this realm.”
During Shen Yun’s performance, many audience members were reported to have felt a peaceful energy field or even seen light radiating from the performers. “I have telepathic sensations, so I know that the positive energy that Shen Yun sends off is real,” Mr. Liu said.
“Lack of belief is ignorance,” said Mr. Liu. “I believe that Shen Yun will continue to flourish while spreading the power of great wisdom and courage.”
“I don’t view Shen Yun as merely a show of song and dance,” said Mr. Liu. “It is truly a performance that moves the soul. Every element in the performance has reached the pinnacle of artistry and creativity.”
Mr. Liu once served as the executive director of the Taipei Parents Association, and is very mindful of youth education; like many others, he believes that Shen Yun is the leader in the renaissance of traditional Chinese culture. “Shen Yun’s artists possess excellent training and immerse themselves in their performance,” he said. “In addition, the programs in the show are integrated with classical Chinese literature. The performance was very thoughtfully created.”
“It is a great thing for the audience to be seeing, ‘Falun Dafa is Good’,” said Mr. Liu. “Why? Because you can see the wisdom and courage involved in their actions. I am truly happy that China’s five thousand years of history can flourish in such a way. I have seen it! This is a show worthy of praise.”
Mr. Liu said he will recommend the show to others so as to spread widely the benefit that Shen Yun can bring. “Shen Yun’s elegant temperance comes from within,” he said. “I will spread the word about this show.”
