Cultural Foundation President: Like a clear stream in this muddy world, silent yet powerful

Ms. Chen was fascinated by the show's classical Chinese dance. She also believed Shen Yun's stories to be highly educational in a morally deficient society. She said that the show displayed the richness and variety of art in the dancing, colors and stage design. She loved the elegance and colors in Shen Yun's costumes.

Ms. Chen said that she felt a special power from the show, especially during Yuan Qu's singing. "It really touched me," said Ms. Chen.

Painter: Finding the Truth of Life

Painter Rita Melody is currently writing a thesis about painting. She was glad to see the Shen Yun show and got some inspiration from it. She said she felt that Shen Yun was a standard-bearer for oriental dance art.

Rita said the idea from "Monk Ji Gong Abducts the Bride" was the same as hers when she started to hold art exhibitions. She got encouragement from the show, "As long as we want to purify society and make it more beautiful and benevolent, it won't be hard because we have always known what we wanted when we descended from heaven. This is the truth of life that we are seeking, like the show indicated."

Rita believes that we are all looking for the truth, and when we find it we will love ourselves and will have the power to love others.

Art Director: Finding Our Way

Ms. Chen Su-Ping is the art director of Beautiful World Co. The most touching thing for her was the message sent by the Shen Yun show. She expressed that the meaning of the show came from heaven and such spirituality can purify souls.

Mr. Tsao said that Chinese culture is hard to put into reality, but Shen Yun did it with its dances and stories. He was also impressed by how skillful the artists were and said that Shen Yun's performance can be inspirational in promoting art education in Taiwan.

When talking about the piece "Heaven Awaits Us Despite Persecution," Mr. Tsao said that it tells people about the magnificence of divine power and leads people towards a righteous way.
