“Thank you for coming there, coming to High Wycombe and doing your shows, and I hope you come back again next year,” said the mayor.
“As Mayor of High Wycombe, I wanted to show my support and appreciation, and that’s why I’m here to present a certificate of appreciation for the show,” he said.
China’s 5,000 years of traditional culture is said to be divinely inspired, and rich with lessons of courage, wisdom, and kindness—a culture nearly lost under communist rule.
The Mayor said he was particularly touched by a piece portraying the persecution of faith in modern-day China.
“The story of a blind child and a mother that was quite, quite heart touching,” the mayor said. “Overall, the whole culture and the respect ... shown in those performances was quite heart touching.”
“I remember [the Mayor] talked about the piece where the persecution happened. We always, we can see people in the audience from stage and oftentimes they’re actually crying multiple times during the show. And that’s one where we see they’re very touched,” he said. “While it’s a sad, tragic story ultimately, it’s one of hope and that’s what we hope to bring to people when they see our show, we want to give them something that they can, that will uplift them and just take them higher and out of the world’s troubles and just give them hope.”
Master of Ceremonies Samantha Song added, “This is actually one of our last shows in the UK. Everywhere we go, we have full, sold-out shows, and I can see the audience, from the mayors to people from all kinds of careers they come and they really love the show. So this is a big encouragement for us. We will keep going and bring more shows to people next year.”
