Ms. Liao Qiongzhi

Ms. Liao Qiongzhi is known as one of the most outstanding Ku Dan actresses in Taiwan. The most touching program for her was the dance "The Risen Lotus Flower." "She stood up and protected her two other friends," said Ms. Liao. "She was a heroine."

Ms. Liao also said the backdrops were wonderful and looked very realistic. She mentioned "Lady of the Moon" as an example: "It really looked like they were flying."

Ms. Liao praised the dancers' rhythm and movements. She said, "Their dresses were beautiful and colorful. Their bodies moved so gently from their hands to their feet. How they moved and their facial expressions--it was beautiful!"

Ms. Liao is still teaching Taiwanese Opera at an institute. Talking about the spirit of Divine Performing Arts, she said, "They really want to preserve traditional Chinese culture and they are showing it all over the world. I admire them!"
