Frankfurt, Germany: Show-goer Praises the Resurrection of Traditional Chinese Culture
By Wen Yunsheng, Minghui reporter in Frankfurt, Germany
(Clearwisdom.net) On February 17, 2008, Sunday afternoon, at the
Jahrhunderthalle (Century Hall) in Frankfurt, the Divine Performing Arts Touring
Company once again presented a spectacular display of traditional Chinese
culture. We interviewed Ms. Peng, a Vietnamese-Chinese who is a professional
translator. Talking about her impressions of the show, Ms. Peng was full of
praise for the performances that resurrected traditional Chinese culture. She first mentioned "The Fruits of Goodness." She said that she was
most impressed by this performance. "Few westerners understand the theories
on Buddhas and Taos, so I thought it is good to give them a concept of Buddhas
and Taos." When talking about "Drummers of the Tang Court," Ms. Peng
commented, "The energy of the drum performance was particularly strong,
with ladies dancing, and men playing drums--it was very impressive." As for the performance portraying Yue Fei's loyalty to his country, she
thought this was very good, too. It's a traditional story that every Chinese
family is familiar with that provides an opportunity for the westerners to
understand Chinese culture. In addition, Ms. Peng thought the costumes were
beautiful. Ms. Peng said, "[The performance] is not influenced by the current
Chinese government, so it can express the thoughts of our traditional Chinese
people, passed down from the ancient times."
