(Clearwisdom.net) TAICHUNG, Taiwan--Miaoli County Councilor Lai Yuen-Shun attended the Shen Yun performance in Taichung on the afternoon of April 17, 2010. It was Mr. Lai's first time seeing the show. He said, "The entire show was highlighting the meaning of humanity... The entire show was well-organized, and the spectacular performance was presented in a very smooth manner from the beginning to the end."

As Shen Yun showcased the characteristics of various Chinese ethnic groups, including Han, Miao, Mongolia, and Tibet, and ushered people into historical cultures of various regions, Mr. Lai was deeply moved. He said, "Every ethnic group's traditional culture, customs and clothing are different, so their respective dances are representative of their characteristics. All of them have something special, so all of them are spectacular."

Impressed by the dance "Nothing Can Block the Divine Path," depicting Falun Dafa cultivators' unwavering belief in the face of persecution, Mr. Lai said, "This program proves that evil can never prevail over good. It was really very moving." Talking about the program "Wu Song Battles the Tiger," Mr. Lai mentioned that the content of the legend was fully conveyed, and the movements of the dance were also very exquisite, and that the performance was easy for the audience to understand the connoted meanings.

As a supporter of the resolution in Miaoli County Council supporting Falun Gong in recent years, Councilor Lai Yuen-Shun said, "Bad weather won't really affect people's confidence. Regardless of how serious the test may be, it will never stop us from pursuing human rights. I call on China to stop the persecution against Falun Gong immediately."
