CHIAYI, TaiwanShen YunPerforming Arts International Company
made its debut performance in Chiayi at
the Chiayi Performing Arts Center on
Tuesday, March 29. Dr. Zhong Zhiming,
Associate Professor of the
Institute of European
Studies at Nanhua
University, was in the
audience. He said he was really stunned by the final program,
The Opening of Heavens Gates. He felt
like he was in the scene, experiencing Gods and Buddhas
painstaking efforts to save the world's
people.
Dr. Zhong recalled his feelings. I felt quite stunned and
touched. Although I study science, when I saw
sentient beings were saved [by the divine], I was very moved.
Good people must be guarded by the
divine.
He was also most impressed by the dance Min Nan Grace,
commenting on the simple and modest
dress, and the simplicity and the gracefulness of the
performers, and its background landscape of
southern China. He said that the dance of the ancient Yi ethnic
group, My Beloved Yi Village, was very
unique, These are dances rarely seen. They are quite
precious.
The program Manchurian Elegance, was also one that struck him.
He said, Its very interesting. Iparticularly noted that the way the
performers walked was very graceful and elegant. Their dancing,
gestures, form, bearing, and techniques are superb. It is not
what common people can do.
He stressed that the Chinese history is broad and profound, but
Shen Yun represented the essence of
Chinese culture in just two hours. The female performers
expressed the gentle and graceful
deportment in dancing, and the male performers showed masculine,
lively, and energetic demeanor.
Dr. Zhong said, They made people feel as if they were in the
scene and sharing the pleasure with
them.
