Ms. Patrizia Bermeo is a fashion designer. When others left after the show, she remained, taking pictures with her friends with great enthusiasm. She said, "I liked all the programs! What I liked best was the show's message: humanity, nature, love, and everyone should help others because we are not in the world by ourselves."

Ms. Bermeo was moved to tears during the show. She was most touched by "The Power of Awareness" and "The Risen Lotus Flower" because they told people to fight to the end for a better world.

"The artistic skill of the dancers was superb! The artists were filled with love," Ms. Bermeo said. "We all look forward to a better world. The show was a combination of mind, body, and spirit. It was beautiful! It should be better known. Young people should watch it because they are the future of the world."

Santo works in an administrative department of the government. He said, "It isn't easy for Italians to know China. The media has been covering China a great deal because of the Olympic Games. It made me curious to learn about this country's culture." Santo enjoyed the beautiful dances and felt the show satistified his goal of learning about Chinese culture.
