Ms. Zhang is a doctor and lives in New Jersey. She came to the show with her husband and two sons. She said that she wanted to their children to have more exposure to Chinese culture. She said that the dance "The Loyalty of Yue Fei" was very good and their children were very interested in learning the story of Yue Fei.

Ms. Wang came with her son at the recommendation of her son's teacher. During the intermission, her son said that he liked all the numbers. Ms. Wang said that "Creation" impressed her the most.

Like many other parents, Ms. Dai brought her children to experience Chinese culture. "They grow up in the US and have limited exposure to Chinese culture. I am very glad to have this opportunity for them to experience our culture and remind them that they are Chinese."
