School Counselor Brings Over 40 Students to the Divine Performing Arts Performance

By Minghui reporters Su Rong and Sun Baitai

(Clearwisdom.net) When Ms. Du Shuying, a school counselor at Wanluan High School, read a program introducing the Divine Performing Arts Company, she was sure that the company's messages - pure truth, pure compassion, pure beauty - would be good for the school's education program. Sponsored by Congressman Tseng of Pingdong County, Ms. Du organized a composition contest on the topic of "Compassion," chose 40 winners, and brought them to the Divine Performing Arts performance in Kaohsiung.

Ms. Du said every program and every scene in the show touched the students

Ms. Du Shuying and her students after the show. Many students gave their two thumbs up: "Wonderful!"

Ms. Du Shuying said, "We are really touched. This was the first time we had ever seen the show. From the backdrops to the music, everything is beyond words. It's truly wonderful."

Reporters asked Ms. Du what she thought the students would learn from the show. She said, "The elements of art and religion will make the students think. Every program and every scene in the show touched them. This was the first time they had ever seen such a high-class performance. Everything was new to them."

The Stories Are Dramatic

"We are from Wanluan High School in Pingdong," student Miss He Ziting told reporters, "We won a composition contest and the prize getting to see this show." She said she liked the drums and the "Lady of the Moon" the most. "It was very dramatic and I cried. The singers' performances were great, but they were too short. I wished they were longer. This was the best show I've ever seen in my life."

"The Risen Lotus Flower" made Miss Qiu Yueyuan almost cry. She said, "From the show we learned that we should extend our hands and help others who are suffering. I felt very bad seeing that many Falun Gong practitioners are being persecuted on the mainland. I hope the mainland can respect human rights." Talking about "Descent of the Celestial Kings," Miss Qiu said, "It was so grand that it immediately attracted my attention and made me want to see more."

If Someone Is Bullied We Should Help

Miss Xie Yijing said that every program was wonderful, but what she liked most was "Awakening." She said that if someone is bullied we should all go help. She also liked the powerful drums.
