His friend Mr. Ruud Walters said, "I think that the Mongolian dancing is beautiful with many amazing things. The last performance was very graceful and powerful. In fact, the whole show is powerful. ... It is great."
Dutch comedian Erik van Muiswinkel
Dutch comedian Erik van Muiswinkel initiated a campaign of "no travel to China" to protest human rights persecution and attracted media attention as a result. In the talk show by Pauw & Witteman on Holland National TV channel 3 on February 19, he mentioned that the Chinese Communist Party attempted to interfere with the show presented by the Divine Performing Arts. After watching the show, Mr. Muiswinkel commended the performance.
After the show, some people still lingered in the theater hall and talked about the show, "Such a wonderful performance", "the colors were beautiful", "amazing costumes", and more.
