Teacher Chen Ying-chen feels more confident that arts can help children wipe out the shadow of injury after she watched the performances.

Director Liu said that the students in the Housing Center come from disadvantaged families. Today these children could develop broader perspectives by watching the performance of the Divine Performing Arts.

Chen, followed by a group of students, said "Many cultural activities can help children out of the shadow of violence in various ways, such as art therapy, dance therapy, music therapy, etc. However, after I watched today's performances, I feel like such good performances will for sure enable the children to recover from their spiritual trauma and we also hope to use this very natural way to help children."

Speaking of her impressions of the show she said: "I see many different colors in a variety of costumes and its exciting content, in particular the integration of the figures from the Chinese and the West, no regional difference. In addition to the presentation of miracles, the show presents the symbol of peace."

Chen said "The Fruits of Goodness" impressed her deeply, "There are scenes of deities, Buddhas, Bodhisattvas and dances with modern costumes. A man in the performance was reformed and moved by Bodhisattvas suddenly in a dream. Thereafter, he was determined to rebuild himself, worship and respect Heaven and God. The scene greatly touched me. The show is superb and is touring all over Taiwan. It is worth recommending, worth watching again and again."

When asked what program the students liked most, students said: "The show is pretty good. We have never watched such a good show before, even never on television. The program of 'Water Sleeves' is superb and the costumes are beautiful."

Huang Yan-tsi, a 7th grader said: "I love 'Water Sleeves'. They danced very beautifully. The drummers are so neat and powerful. They are superb! We have drum group in our school, too, but they are no match to them." Another little girl said her favorites were 'Nymphs of the Sea' and 'The Loyalty of Yue Fei'. She thinks it would be wonderful if her Mom and Dad can also look at these wonderful performances.

Director Liu said she would put the information about the show on the school bulletin boards and tell other students about the performances. The students who had come to the show enjoyed it tremendously.
