Philadelphia Inquirer: Chinese art exhibit is a woman's debt of gratitude
Falun Gong, the Chinese spiritual practice based on meditation and slow
movement, may be banned by the Beijing regime, but Mei-ling Dai believes it
saved her life. The Shanghai native contracted a dire immune disorder after she moved to
Australia. She took up Falun Gong, improved dramatically, and emerged determined
to show her gratitude. Dai has expressed it in a unique way. She has arranged for her family's
private collection of Chinese art masterpieces, worth tens of millions of
dollars, to go on a world tour. About 40 of the works will be on view Tuesday through next Sunday, 10 a.m. to
9 p.m., at the Hilton Garden Inn, 100 Arch St. "These are the best of the best," said Frank Xie, a Drexel
University marketing professor and Falun Gong practitioner who heads the Greater
Philadelphia Asian Culture Center. Xie said the center was training guides for
the exhibition. Admission is $10, or $5 for seniors and students. Information: 856-232-5452. Source http://www.philly.com/mld/inquirer/news/magazine/daily/12202847.htm
