(Clearwisdom.net) The final performance of the Divine Performing Arts Chinese Spectacular in Kaohsiung, Taiwan on March 8 worked up to a climax. The staff said that many people came to see the Spectacular due to the show's excellent reputation, and all tickets had been sold out. The sponsor had to add some seats so that more people could enjoy the artistic feast.
Dance Teacher: It has been a long time since I have seen such beautiful, amazing dances
Dance teacher Xu Peijun learned from a bulletin board that Divine Performing Arts would perform in Taiwan. Because she missed the performance in Tainan, she made a special effort to come to Kaohsiung to see the final show on March 8. After the show, she said emotionally that she was moved, and said, "It has been such a long time since I have seen such beautiful, amazing dances. I suddenly became speechless."
As a dance teacher, Xu Peijun said that the most impressive number for her was "Descent of the Celestial Kings."
Xu Peijun herself teaches Dun Huang Dance. "Descent of the Celestial Kings" was particularly impressive and meaningful to her. She said, "When divine beings descended slowly from heaven, I was amazed and suddenly understood the message, that is: Gods and divine beings descend from heaven to the earth to save sentient beings."
She continued, "The entire process, the choreography, stage design, costume design and high-tech backdrops are marvelous. I enjoyed the show greatly."
Xu Peijun paid a lot of attention to the details of the dancers' movements. She said, "Their bodies could stretch greatly, and they moved softly or rigidly as needed. For example, when the male dancers performed 'Chopstick Zest,' the style was quite different from the female dancers performing it. The male dancers are more rigid, their shoulder movement is more rigid than the female dancers' movements. The women reveal the female beauty. They are gentle and soft. The dancers looked like fairies. We all admired them greatly."

Zhao Suxing, a life insurance manager: The lyrics in "Only Truth Can Save" and "Rest in Knowing" need to be understood with your soul
Ms. Zhao said, "The first performance, 'Descent of the Celestial Kings,' amazed me. My soul and body ascended during the performance. And specifically, the lyrics in Only Truth Can Save,' and, 'Rest in Knowing,' need to be understood by your soul. In the modern, wealthy society, we often feel that our hearts are empty. In this show, we should find what we need."
Zhao Suxing added, "I am very pleased to have a chance to enjoy the show with my parents and my grandmother. I will tell more friends to come see the show. They will have a great experience."

Supervisor in the Electronics Field: The performance moved me very much
An assistant manager from Nanzi Electronics came to see the show on her friend's recommendation. After the first half of the show, she said, "I am deeply touched. Some of the performances are so moving. In the piece 'The Risen Lotus Flower,' I couldn't stop my tears. When I saw the lady in jail, I could not help but burst into tears. The scene switches during the performance: one on earth, the other in heaven. When I saw it, I was so moved."
Cheng Yingzhu (left), an assistant manager from Nanzi Electronics, along with Wang Ruiwen (right), an employee in the production design business, watched the show together. Ms. Cheng said, "The show is marvelous. I couldn't stop my tears."
Cheng Yingzhu liked "Drummers of the Tang Court." "Those dancers, when they play the drums, they are so masculine. Yet, you can tell that they have other aspects of tenderness. The vigor they show is really wonderful."
Her friend, Wang Ruiwen said to the reporter, "The baritone and soprano sang very well. The lyrics were very touching. The artistic conception revealed by the singing was very moving and profound. We all don't know why we come to this world! And as for the dancing, they dance so lightly, as if they are in heaven. I found myself also wanting to get up onstage to dance. Their fingers are very fine and their feet move so gently, as if they are gliding."
