As a display of 5 millennia of traditional culture, Shen Yun Performing Arts took audiences on a journey through ancient China in Kaohsiung and Taoyuan in Taiwan, from March 26 through March 31.
“The performance evokes a profound sense of wonder, intricacy, and heartfelt storytelling. Every aspect of the production is both awe-inspiring and deeply moving. It’s an immersive journey that touches the soul,” said Shunying Ye, who is the founding director of Lions Club International.
“I am very touched,” said Jiahuang Zhu, who was the former vice president of Kaohsiung Municipal Ci-Jin Hospital. “They do not need to make a sound or speak, but by looking at the performers’ movements, the audience can know what they want to express.”
Shen Yun aims to revive 5,000 years of traditional Chinese culture and values from before communism.
“It’s this feeling of renewal and refreshment,” said Lianzhi Yang, who is the chairman of Taoyuan Small & Medium Enterprises Association.
Shen Yun’s artistry and 3D background also left a deep impression on him.
“Traditional Chinese Culture awakens everyone, which is very good. And the beautiful costumes and technology of the screens all deeply impressed me,” he added.
“We always look for a balance between something powerful and something that is also very gentle and beautiful,” said Xiya Chen, who is a jewelry designer.
“Shen Yun can use many colors all at once on a dancer or artist, but it’s still very harmonious and beautiful,” she added.
Shen Yun has 8 companies that travel the world simultaneously. And every year, its artists bring an all-new production to the stage every season.
Yuwei Chen, who is the 7th Chairwoman at Kaohsiung Distinguished Managers Association, felt that Shen Yun’s performance has a positive impact on society today. She hopes that many more people will come to see the performance.
“We must support Shen Yun. The more people support it, the more society will be driven to kindness and improvement, this is the influence. I think this is even more important for those of us who work in business. Because one person can influence 125 people, and if those 125 people can expand out as well, then it will be completely different. So let’s all watch Shen Yun together. Shen Yun brings you a life full of grandeur and fulfillment.”
“Shen Yun is synonymous with ‘touching,’” said Chin-hua Hsu, who is the chairman at Kaohsiung Dream Care Association. “Beauty is a kind of power, and this power deserves to be carried forward. I am also very grateful to Shen Yun for doing such a thing around the world. I am really grateful.”
Shen Yun’s 2024 world tour will continue through May.
