Manuel Marks and Mimi Marks returned from a tour to China two weeks ago. After watching the show, they said that it was great and that every piece was excellent. In particular, they emphasized that the songs conveyed clear messages and were very good.

Chris Lacey is a college student at Georgia Tech and his parents brought him to see the show for his birthday. His favorite acts were the solo singers, Soprano Jiang Min and Baritone Yue Qu. He understood the songs' inner meanings, and could read the Chinese characters. Chris hopes to be able to share his love of Chinese culture with his fellow students.

Dajiang Zhen is a student at a local medical school. He said that the choreography, music and costumes were beautiful. In particular, he said the fan dance and the "Mongolian Cups" dance were elegant and skillful.

Ida Scheario works for the Mahaffey Theater. Ida was completely captivated by the show and said that it was spectacular.

David Rovine is the manager of the Mahaffey Theater. He told the reporter that ticket sales for the show were very successful, suggesting that local residents were very supportive and the show was really good. When asked about the acts which portrayed the persecution of Falun Gong in the Communist China, Mr. Rovine said that like all communist countries, China uses suppressive measures to maintain control.
