(Clearwisdom.net) On the evening of February 1, the Divine Performing Arts presented its third show of the Chinese New Year Splendor to an audience of thousands at Radio City Music Hall in New York. A couple touring the U.S. from mainland China could hardly control their excitement after watching the show, and said to the reporter, "We are so happy to be able to see a performance of such a high standard overseas! It is so exiting."

Mr. Lou and his wife, who both work for a chemical plant in China, told the reporter that they heard about the show from their niece. "We never expected having an opportunity to see such a wonderful performance about traditional Chinese culture just ten days after we arrived in the U.S.! The show is of such a high artistic standard!"

Mr. Lou said he was very excited to see that traditional Chinese culture is valued and presented overseas. "The performers have such a high standard. Most important of all, they have the spirit to promote traditional Chinese culture."

He went on to say, "The backdrops are wonderful. I have never seen anything like it - the great pastures in Mongolia, the blue sky, the grass... It's a pity that we can no longer see these in real life due to environmental pollution."

Mr. Lou's wife said that the drums were lovely and inspiring. Talking about the persecution of Falun Gong in China, she said that Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is the standard code of conduct for people in the first place. She also indicated that not everyone in China believes the negative propaganda about Falun Gong that is spread by the Chinese Communist Party.
