“I’ve seen the show many times. I have basically come every year except during the pandemic. It was kind of a coincidence when I attended my first show. And after watching it, I felt deeply inspired, both spiritually and emotionally. I experienced a sense of purification from within, feeling light and comfortable in my body, and I really loved the show, so I’ve made it a point to come every time since then,” he said. “Each time, I feel particularly relaxed. Before coming this time, I was actually quite anxious because things haven’t been going well lately. I was feeling sick, and my mood has been quite low, with work not going smoothly either. But after watching this performance, I felt all the pressure in my heart vanish. Every time I come, I experience this feeling of deep relaxation. It’s truly magical.”
Mr. Qin described the positive emotions he felt after watching Shen Yun and what he described as authenticity from the performers.
“In each performer, I feel that they are not acting. They are sharing their true selves to the audience, to us. What we see in them is not a performance or something from Hollywood; it is genuine, a true inner self, coming from the heart. This kind of emotional connection is rare. For me, I was truly moved by them from the depths of my heart,” he said.
He added, “I think the values of truthfulness, compassion, and forbearance are essential, and it’s about discovering one’s true self. In today’s society, there is a significant amount of hostility, and many people feel overwhelmed by that pressure. Therefore, forbearance becomes crucial, not in the sense of suffering in silence, but in the sense of accepting and understanding others with kindness. This approach is beneficial not only for the Chinese but for the entire world. I believe that ‘Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance’ is the only correct path for us.”
“I think the show represents brightness! This stage feels incredibly bright to me, radiating light, which I believe can illuminate the world. We are currently in a rather dark era, where everyone, both internally and externally, seems to carry a sense of gloom. I believe Shen Yun can help dispel this gloom, bringing light to both our inner selves and our outward appearances,” Mr. Qin said. “If everyone maintains a kind heart, the world will become a much more beautiful place. If we embrace this light with kindness and share it with others, it means that each of us will carry a spark of brightness, passing it on to those around us. I think that’s the best thing. We need to ensure that everyone, people all over the world, can see the show, it’s truly a wonderful thing. Especially people in China, since Shen Yun originates from there, and since the divinely inspired culture of China has its roots firmly planted in the land.”
