Chinese Australian: Divine Performing Arts the Best Chinese Tradition (Photos)
(Clearwisdom.net) On the afternoon of April 12, the second Chinese
Spectacular show in Canberra, Australia, attracted many local Chinese
immigrants and was another great success. Audience member Ms. Zheng is an employee of Australian National University
and her husband, Mr. Pan, serves as an agriculture and resource analyst for the
Australian government. The couple brought his mother and their two sons to see
the show. Ms. Zheng said, "I was lucky to see a Chinese Spectacular
show in the US when I visited my parents. I loved it. So today I brought my
whole family." Ms. Zheng and her family enjoyed the Chinese
Spectacular show in Canberra on April 12 Mr. Pan's mother sat between her two grandsons, and was very pleased.
"It presented something very dear to my heart. I know all the stories very
well. The dancers were great, and the Divine Performing Arts did a good job
promoting the true spirit of Chinese culture. I hope my grandchildren will learn
more about this." Mr. Pan said, "My wife asked me to come. This is my first time to see
the show. I think it was great. We came to Australia from China more than 20
years ago, and the performance reminded me of many forgotten memories. In
addition, I feel that the show is beneficial and inspiring to overseas Chinese
on how to educate their children. We all hope that our next generation will
inherit our culture, and this show helps them better understand our history and
culture." Ms. Li immigrated to Australia from Shanghai two years ago, and she had a lot
to say when asked her opinion of the show: "I thought the show was
fascinating. From costumes and stage scenery to the music, every detail was very
good. I learned a bit of dance when I was in China, and I must say the show is
very professional. The choreography is just perfect and the lyrics of the songs
are excellent." Mr. Li, originally from Shanghai, said that
the "Descent of the Celestial Kings" was very touching "The opening performance 'Descent of the Celestial Kings' was very
touching," said Ms. Li, "and 'The Risen Lotus Flower' [a piece which
depicted the courage of three Falun Gong practitioners detained in China] was a
very good presentation about people being persecuted in China. It showcased
their great courage. I know some practitioners and they are all good
people." Posting date: 4/15/2008
