(Clearwisdom.net) On February 25, 2010, the Shen Yun Performing Arts New York Company began its seven shows at Citizen's Center Grand Auditorium, in Daegu, South Korea. It is Shen Yun's third visit to Daegu. Many renowned people, local residents and visitors came to see the show.

Professor: Compass of human civilization in the twenty-first century

Mr. Mun Kyung-hyun, former director of the Kyungpook National University museum and professor emeritus of Kyungpook National University, is an academic veteran in the South Korean historical circle. After seeing the show, he said emotionally, "China is an outstanding country! Chinese people invented the compass, gunpowder, printing, and paper in history, which were major drives for human civilization. From tonight's show, I experienced the long and profound history of Chinese traditional culture again. I am very pleased to see the Shen Yun show spreading across the world!"

"Like viewing fairies dancing in the moon, the various ethnic dancing is very good. The dance 'Wu Song Battles the Tiger' is wonderful too!"

"Listening to the Shen Yun music, I feel like my mind is opened. The costumes are beautiful, just like fairy ladies' dress."

Mr. Mun continued, "Shen Yun presents the culture of respecting heaven and believing in gods. It can educate people, especially the dance program showing Falun Gong practitioners' steadfast beliefs, very touching. It lets people know about the wide spread of Falun Gong in China and the ongoing persecution in China. Throughout history, Chinese people have respected heaven and believed in gods, but now no more. It is regretful."

Renowned Vocalist Says Shen Yun is Spectacular

Mr. Chun Sung Whan, renowned vocalist and chief director of the Korea Performing Arts Promotion Association, attended the second Shen Yun Performing Arts show in Daegu, South Korea on February 26. He said, "Shen Yun does a great job presenting the virtues of the Chinese nation. The combination of Eastern and Western musical instruments is perfect and the composition of all the programs is spectacular. It shows the inner beauty of the artists very well."

Mr. Chun said, "The Shen Yun show reflects the minds of ancient Chinese very well. It is very diversified. I wish we could watch this kind of show more often, especially the professional dancers. The story-based programs are very interesting. I think the professional dancers should watch the show often to be inspired."

"It is a very spectacularly composed performance, showing the inner beauty of the artists. I can feel the spirituality and inner meaning from the vocal pieces. The whole program makes me feel refreshed. I'm also very happy to see the performances of different ethnic groups in China. It is a very enjoyable experience," added Mr. Chun.

Regarding the orchestra, Mr. Chun said, "The Chinese and Western musical instruments are coordinated very well in the orchestra, and the orchestra members have very good technique. They successfully lead the audience to experience the special charm of classical Chinese music. The conductor put in a lot of effort. Under her lead, the orchestra works seamlessly together. It was a job well done."

Well-known Singer: The wish that people around the world walk together

Ms. Hong Hanako, a well-known singer in South Korea, sang the Olympic theme song in 1988, 'Hand in Hand'. She said emotionally, "The Shen Yun music let me feel the wish again that people around the world walk together."

"I was amazed at the Shen Yun orchestra's magnificent melodies, and the graceful dancing. The five-thousand-year history is reviving! I feel the greatness and grace of traditional culture. I am a singer. I can testify that all of the singers have had high level training. Each of them is the best performer. They merged with the audience members. I was amazed and touched so much."

Mr. Son Chengmu is the director of Thomas Edison Invention Museum, the largest in the world, and former director of the museum association in Gyeongsangbuk.
