(Clearwisdom.net) Chia-Yi, TAIWAN- Located in the southern farm country of Taiwan, Chia-Yi is a major agriculture area. The most visited place in Chia-Yi is beautiful Ali Mountain. The Divine Performing Arts (DPA) arrived in Chia-Yi on March 10, 2009, to perform in the Auditorium of National Chung Cheng University. Tickets for the first show sold out quickly.

The DPA Show Helps to Purify and Calm the Mind

Wu Ronghui, Secretary General of Chia-Yi County, encouraged everyone to see the show: "It's rare that we get to see such a perfect performance that utterly manifests the meaning of Chinese culture. The DPA allows us to understand universal values from traditional culture through supreme dancing art." "It's very helpful in purifying and calming one's mind."

It was Wu's first time seeing the DPA show, and he was very happy to have such an opportunity. "Through classical Chinese dance and ethnic art, the DPA expressed the values of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance."

Eager to See the Show Again

Wu stressed that he felt really good after seeing the show and wanted to see it again. "The show wasn't just enjoyable, it was at times peaceful and elegant and at times strong and magnificent." "The music combines western philharmonic music and Chinese musical instruments. I am very impressed with such outstanding work."

When "Heaven Awaits Us Despite Persecution" was being performed, some audience members cried. Wu said the program gave him a profound feeling, "With God's guidance, I saw a group of kind people standing tall and strong despite brutal torture."

Wu loved the pieces, "The Monkey King Triumphs" and "The Poet's Vision," because they were familiar stories from Journey to the West and the poet Li Bai. "They reminded me of what I used to learn. The show is absolutely impressive."

Chief of Police: A Beautiful Experience

Liu Boliang, chief of Chia-Yi City Police Bureau, came to the show on March 10. He exclaimed afterwards, "I haven't seen a live show for a long time and this one is extraordinarily impressive."

Liu was excited, "The choreography was exquisite, the costumes were colorful, the dancing was masterly and the backdrop was lively. I was thrilled."

Liu praised the DPA for "blending dance into our lives." He repeatedly said all the programs were unforgettable, especially the vocalists. The backdrop showed the lyrics at the same time so he could understand the meaning at a glance. He thought incorporating the high tech background into the show created a miraculous effect. He could feel the mighty power the DPA has in promoting culture. "Tonight I had a wonderful time and experience."
