By a practitioner from Korea
(Clearwisdom.net) Divine Performing Arts' performances deeply touched the
Korean people, who have a similar culture with the Chinese, and awakened the
spirit of "loyalty" in their hearts. Many Korean people wept during
the show. The audience Restoring Traditional Chinese Culture Mr. Xue Yongzhu is the chair of the North and South Korean Youth
Communication Association. He enjoyed the show and said that the show restores
the 5,000-year-old Chinese culture, nearly ruined by the Chinese Communist Party
(CCP). Mr. Xue Yongzhu Mr. Xue said that he had been waiting for the show for a long time. He said
that the 5,000-year-old Chinese culture is the core of Eastern culture. However,
the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) ruined it and it is not as pure as before. He
pointed out that the show restores the ruined culture. He said, "The show manifests the Chinese people's spirit of pursuing
truth and justice. I am very fortunate to have watched it -- it is very
meaningful to me." Mr. Xue expressed his wish that all young people from both North and South
Korea could enjoy the show. His understanding of the show's name--Divine
Performing Arts, is that "humans and Gods are together." He said that
the wisdom of the saints in history are manifested in the show. Regarding the interference from the CCP, where the CCP tried to block the
show in Korea, Mr. Xue said, "Everybody knows the reason. No matter how the
CCP tries to lie about history, history cannot be distorted or covered up. It is
very important that many people learn the truth of history through the Divine
Performing Arts' performances." "Divine Art" Is the Will of Heaven Prof. Nan Zaihe is from the Korea Physical Education University. As a
Christian, he had special feelings of the show. Prof. Nan Zaihe Prof. Nan Zaihe said that the dance "Creation" gave him the deepest
impression. He said that he has been to China, but none of the displays that he
saw in China were about religion or belief. The Divine Performing Arts' show was
the first one about divine beings that he has ever seen. He said that the show
also manifests the diversity of Chinese culture. Prof. Nan said that a picture of Falun Gong practitioners peacefully
appealing on Tiananmen Square jumped into his mind when he was watching the
show. Prof. Nan said that the Chinese characters of "Divine Art" manifest
Heaven's will. 5,000-year-old History Becomes Art Mr. Jin Xundong, the chair of the Association of Artists in Shuiyuan City,
said: "I was amazed by this show. I have never seen such a great show
before, which conveys 5,000 years of history through art." Mr. Jin Xundong He said that the dance, "A Dunhuang Dream" made a very deep
impression on him. He enjoyed the dance and said that the idea that the artist
obtained hints from gods in his dream was also amazing. Mr. Jin condemned the CCP's interference. He said that it was shameless to
use political power to interfere with the performing arts. The Show Tells of Human Rights Violations in China Ms. Liu Jixian, the former chief editor of Maeil Business, expressed
her feelings after the show. She said: "The show was very welcomed in
Europe and America. The Western audience is not familiar with the pure Chinese
culture, but they sensed a new culture, which values loyalty and the principle
that 'good will be rewarded with good, and evil will be met with retribution,'
and they are greatly moved." Ms. Liu Jixian "I feel familiar with this culture. I think that the Korean culture and
the Eastern culture are both part of Chinese culture. It is great that Divine
Performing Arts promotes Chinese culture through art." "It is dangerous if the artists only want to bring beauty to the
audience, because that will make the art become pure entertainment. I think that
the reason Divine Arts' performances are so great is because they tell people
about the human rights violations in China." Ms. Liu said, "The show didn't manifest anger towards the brutal
persecution; instead, it manifests the principle that 'good is rewarded with
good, and evil meets with retribution.' The songs about
Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance were also very peaceful and have a very
strong Chinese style." Yue Fei's Story Is Impressive The Korean culture values loyalty to one's family and country. Mr. Cui Xianda Mr. Cui Xianda, a poet, said, "Yue Fei's story made a very deep
impression on me. The spirit of 'loyalty' is difficult to describe with
language, but the performers manifested it through dance." Ms. Zheng Zhenzi, the chair of the Association of Traditional Tea Culture,
said that she cried when she saw Yue Fei's loyalty to his mother and country. Mr. Zheng Zaixun, a researcher at the Traditional Culture Institute, said
that he admires Yue Fei, so the dance about Yue Fei was his favorite. He praised
the dancers because they manifested Yue Fei's image perfectly. Mr. Han Guangxi Mr. Han Guangxi, a reporter at a radio station, said that the heroic spirit
manifested by the dances made a very deep impression on him and he was touched
by the spirit of Yue Fei and his mother. Ms. Piao Wenji Ms. Piao Wenji said, "In both China and Korea, the meaning of 'loyalty'
is the same and is valued by everybody."
