“I watch a lot of performances, whether it be ballet or modern dance, but I think the acting skills are really outstanding. And the techniques themselves, like tumbling and jumping, are just world-class,” said Jeon Jin-Sil, a choreographer. “What surprised me was the digital background. It’s the kind of combination I’ve always dreamed of. I really learned a lot about digital stages, excellent dancers, and storytelling.”
“I think the high-level choreography, the female dancers, and the blending of traditional Chinese music and a Western orchestra really impressed me,” said Xu Dayong, a company representative.
“I think it is a truly world-class work that summarizes the essence of 5,000 years of Eastern culture in two hours,” said Shen Bogang, the director at the National Culture Research Institute.
“Could make you cry. Just the fact that what they endure at the hands of the CCP breaks my heart,” said Glen Winkel, a former professional cyclist. “I think the central theme that runs the whole thing is that there’s a cultural history here that’s being presented in a way that I think is really important that people see and understand. And the fact of what’s happening right now in the CCP to people of Falun Gong. What’s going on with live organ harvesting, things of that sort, I think that needs to be really brought to the forefront now.”
“Because modern material civilization has developed, people don’t have the opportunity to enjoy spiritual culture. But because this shows the essence of Eastern spiritual culture, people who are running the cutting edge of modern technology are physically comfortable, but their minds are not at ease. By enjoying the value of Eastern spiritual culture through works like this, modern people’s lives can be enriched,” Mr. Bogang said.
