“You saw the crowd clapping, the people didn't stop. It's beautiful,” said Ron Nechemia, the president of Global Bank Group. “Amazing to see the combination of the music and the new technology, they bring up new dimensions. I don't know how they are doing it, but it's beautifully done together.”
“I think the dancing was very tranquil, very peaceful, very beautiful,” said Claudia Hernandez, a business owner. “I like the traditional dance, and I love their costumes, the music. Everything was really nice.”
“That was just awesome, that was incredible. When the first person came out of the screen, essentially, that was really great. I really enjoyed that,” said Michael Foster, an association CEO. “Very elegant and I think a more positive portrayal of Chinese culture than what we see in the news today.”
“I think the digital backdrop was very unusual, and it was very, very well done. The other thing that I found that I really enjoyed was the commentators who would tell us what we were going to see,” said Mark Wallace, a former federal judge.
“During the Cultural Revolution, China lost some of its beauty. And seeing somebody work hard to bring it back and bring it up to date, I think it's something very special, very unique,” said Nechemia.
“It's sad that this is not being done in China, and that their government is not allowing them to pursue their beliefs and their story,” said Hernandez.
“It disconnects the Chinese people from their ancient culture, which no matter what your modern feelings are, there's always good to have a connection to our past,” said Foster.
