(Clearwisdom.net) On the night of April 5, 2008, Divine Performing Arts of New York completed its fifth show at the Sydney Entertainment Center after a long ovation. The Chinese Spectacular presented the long and rich tradition of Chinese culture. A lot of Chinese came to the show and indulged themselves in the splendid Chinese culture.

A Resurrection of History

Ms. Liu Yukun is a Chinese language teacher. "I am astonished," she said, "They are great! Very good and very professional. The stage performance and background are of a high level. [The show] is genuine Chinese traditional culture without political propaganda. I am very satisfied."

She mentioned a few elements that impressed her most. "The music is very pleasant. The 'Nymphs of the Sea' was extremely beautiful. And the background is rich and accompanies the dancing. It's perfect." She continued, "You can't see such a show in China. It's a dream show. The show opened up my mind. You not only see the culture of the Tang Dynasty, but also Mongolian dances, and [dances of] other nationalities. The performers are very talented." She said, "I am familiar with these historical stories in the show. To me, the show is a resurrection of history."

Chinese Student: I Wish Divine Performing Arts could perform in China

A student from Shanghai University of Foreign Languages said she has liked dance since she was very young. She bought the ticket as soon as she saw the poster for the show. She liked every program in the show and said, "I have never seen such a classic performance before."

She believed that dance, music and songs are elements to enrich one's heart and self-confidence, and a large group dance requires every performer to have deep self-cultivation to present the dance with harmony and gentleness. She said, "It's a precious opportunity, you can't see such a good performance in China. Every program is original, truly good, very good."

In "The Fruits of Goodness," two modern day young men put their coats on a Buddha statue to shield it from the rain and their goodness moves the Buddhas and Goddesses. In return, they are given a Buddhist scripture so that they may obtain great wisdom and return to the righteous path. The university student was touched and said, "Nowadays, society needs more of this kind of goodness. Material life is not the most important, spiritual life is more important. A person must first have a noble spirit to be respected. This is what I learned from the show. I think it is what Chinese people need. I wish Divine Performing Arts could perform in China and become more popular."

"Never seen such a good show"

Ms. Feng is an Australian Chinese, a lover of dance, and an active figure in the local community. She enjoyed the show very much and said, "The show is very attractive, splendid, and truly good. The dances are beautiful, and the costumes are colorful and pretty. The whole performance is very professional, and the background is also good. It's worth it to watch it. "


Ms Feng has loved dance since she was very young.

Ms. Feng was happy to see the show and said she had never seen such a good show before. Even the Chinese have rare chances to see such good arts. "[The Chinese Spectacular] displayed many spiritual things. It is spiritual guidance, letting people look forward to God."
