Divine Performing Arts DVDs are the best gift
One day I was invited to visit an old classmate. Before I went to his house, he begged me to bring a set of Divine Performing Arts DVDs.
My classmate's mother is in her seventies. Although she can not read or write and has a limited vocabulary, she knows that Falun Gong materials are beneficial; that they are priceless. For years, whenever she has received the materials, whether at home or while she was out, she has greatly cherished them. She always says, "Thank you Falun Gong practitioners! You deliver the materials to me in spite of the harsh weather and many difficulties. Your effort is really appreciated."
Some people do not understand her and ask, "Ma'am, you are a senior citizen and cannot read the contents of the material. So why are you so thankful, and why do you care so much about the material?" She kindly replies, "I want to keep the items so that my children can read them and read them to me after they return home. I believe the materials bring happiness and safety. Besides, there are many pictures, so I can understand partially on my own."
A few days ago, in the Falun Gong materials, she saw some color pictures about the Divine Performing Arts shows. She asked her child (my former classmate), "Where can we buy such good videos? I'd like to watch."
My classmate said, "The Divine Performing Arts shows tour the world outside China. The DVDs are not sold in China, but if you want to watch, I will certainly do everything I can do get the DVDs for you."
Thus, I gave the DVDs to my old classmate.
My former classmate accepted the disks with a grateful smile. I could see the expectation in his eyes. He told me, "You are bringing happiness to my family. My mother has been looking forward to watching the shows. This is the best gift my family could ever have."
"This is China's real cultural root"
Ms. Xiao Yu (alias) is a middle school teacher. One day while she was coming home from work, she intermittently heard familiar and beautiful music. After entering her home, she found her child watching a DVD of Divine Performing Arts.
Ms. Xiao Yu told me, "That day when I got home, I saw my child watching the performances, piece after piece, with perfect concentration. Judging from what I saw, the Divine Performing Arts gave a really great show. I suddenly realized how happy the children in China would be if they could grow up in an environment filled with our traditional culture. That is how our children's lives are supposed to be."
"I have watched the Divine Performing Arts show. I think the content is pure and benevolent. Also, the stage design and the backdrops are magnificent. Overall, the show is very traditional and perfect. The performers live up their reputations. Watching the show, I was frequently moved to tears. The culture demonstrated in the show is the true root of traditional Chinese culture."
