Chinese Students Delighted to See the Divine Performing Arts and a Revival of Traditional Chinese Culture By Minghui reporter He Ping
(Clearwisdom.net) Two Chinese students, Mr. Liu and Ms. Zhang, were among
the audience of the Chinese Spectacular at the Consert and
Congress Center in Linkoping, Sweden on March 27. The two students were amazed by the show. Mr. Liu liked all the performances,
and his favorites were the drum dances. "The drum dances were very
encouraging. They demonstrated Chinese people's spirit," said Mr. Liu. One of their Chinese friends living in France recommended this show to Mr.
Liu and Ms. Zhang. Ms. Zhang said, "We thought that we would have to go to
another country to see it, but then I found that they would have the show in
Linkoping. So we bought the tickets immediately. It was awesome. It is
definitely worth the money and time. The dances, especially the Mongolian
dances, were impressive," she said. Ms. Zhang was deeply touched by the show. She said, "Some international
friends asked me about the difference between Chinese, Japanese and Korean, and
what typical Chinese culture is like. I didn't know how to answer them. Chinese
people have lost their roots. People from other countries don't understand
Chinese culture either." Ms. Zhang continued, "This show perfectly
demonstrates Chinese culture. It helps Swedish people learn what Chinese culture
is like. I was very proud when I heard Swedish people praising this show. I
believe this show touched them. This is our roots. I am really happy because
today I can tell Swedish people what Chinese culture is like." Ms. Zhang said that it would take her some time to re-digest the traditional
values depicted in the songs and dances of the show. "I am a Christian, but
I respect other people's beliefs. One of my classmates is a Falun Gong
practitioner. I didn't know it at first, I just felt that he was a nice person.
I was not surprised when he told me that though, because he already told me a
lot of facts about Falun Gong, which were totally different than what the
Chinese Communist Party claims. I can see for myself which side is right. I know
my friend is a very honest and kind person, and I believe other Falun Gong
practitioners are like him too." Mr. Liu and Ms. Zhang said that they would recommend this show to their
Swedish friends. "We will tell them that this show is the pure traditional
Chinese culture. It has genuine Chinese content. They will surely be interested
in it," they said.
