The general manager of a private company in Datong City, Shanxi Province obtained a set of DVDs of the 2009 Shen Yun Performing Arts Chinese Spectacular. He spent the whole night watching it, and said with emotion, "The Spectacular is fabulous. It tells us the origin of our Chinese civilization, displays the holy world that people yearn for, and brings us harmony, beauty and kindness. The performance is exquisite and superb, world class. I'll keep it in my permanent collection."

A villager of a certain township in Lingshan County, Guangxi Autonomous Region watched a DVD of the Shen Yun Performing Arts Chinese Spectacular that a Falun Gong practitioner gave him. After watching it, he was delighted and said decisively, "My mood is much more open and bright after seeing the Spectacular. I want to withdraw from the Young Pioneers and the Youth League that I joined years ago." He wrote these words down on a piece of paper and signed it with his pseudonym, Li Yongsheng. This meant that he has withdrawn from the Chinese Communist Party's affiliated organizations.

Xiao Gang (pseudonym) is a high school student in Lingshan County. He read a brochure about the Shen Yun Chinese Spectacular that a Falun Gong practitioner gave him. While holding the DVD, he was very emotional and said, "If Shen Yun Performing Arts comes to perform in China, I'll definitely go to see it."

1. "I felt comfortable all over my body after watching the Shen Yun performance."

Yan Xinming (pseudonym) is self-employed. He said, "After watching the Shen Yun Chinese Spectacular DVD, I feel that the CCTV Spring Festival Show is so boring and dull. The Shen Yun Chinese Spectacular is fantastic, the setting is like true natural landscape, the performers are like fairy ladies coming down to the earth, the costumes are gorgeous, the dances feature touching stories, the music is also pleasant to hear, the singing makes me feel lighthearted and comfortable. I have never seen such a wonderful performance before. I felt comfortable all over my body after watching the show. Falun Gong's show is just wonderful; now I'll say 'Falun Dafa is good!' every day."

2. Shen Yun is the essence of authentic Chinese divinely-bestowed culture

Li Hong (pseudonym) is a high school teacher. She said, "The Shen Yun Chinese Spectacular featured gorgeous classical costumes, vivid three-dimensional animated backdrops, an orchestra with a blend of Chinese and Western instruments, mind-blowing singing, and ethereal dances transcending all ethnicities and cultures. It lauds simplicity of life, extols steadfastness of belief, and redisplays the essence of authentic Chinese divinely-bestowed culture. After watching the Spectacular, I enjoyed ease of mind, and I felt comfortable all over my body. It is because Shen Yun carries pure and powerful energy."

3. Shen Yun teaches people to be good people according to Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance

Li Lingli (pseudonym) works in a flour mill. She said, "The Shen Yun Chinese Spectacular was so eye-catching. I feel it is not enough to watch it only once. I want to watch one more time. The setting was fabulous. Celestial maidens danced in brilliant ancient costumes. I felt as if I was also entering into the celestial world. It's hard to describe how joyful I am. It was unlike the TV programs I watch where the songs are somewhat like ghosts screaming, making me feel very uncomfortable, and the programs are full of violence and deception, inciting people to do bad deeds. On the contrary, the Shen Yun Chinese Spectacular teaches people to be good people, and discipline ourselves with Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance."

Thirty-eight-year-old Mr. Peng is an IT manager in Shanghai. He said, "The dances are beautiful."

Mr. Chen, a 40-year-old driver in Danshui Town, Huizhou City, Guangdong Province, said, "I did not expect that such a wonderful performance was being staged in New York. I feel proud to be Chinese."

Ms. Zhang, a 32-year-old accountant manager in a foreign company in Shanghai, brought her four-year-old son to watch the Spectacular, and said, "It was pleasant to see. The drumming in the initial program was my son's favorite. He wanted to see it one more time."
