(Clearwisdom.net) On April 18, 2008, Divine Performing Arts (DPA) concluded its second show in New Zealand.

Ms. Ping works in the tourism business and did not get to see the Chinese Spectacular last year due to her busy schedule. She was happy to get to see it this year. "Last year when the show came, I was busy and did not get to attend. I saw the advertisement at the beginning of this year and wished to see it."

Ms. Ping said the DPA's promotion of Chinese culture made her feel happy and proud. "I care about the DPA's promotion of Chinese culture. I feel that Chinese people who live outside of China for so long especially wish to see the show. I told my relatives and friends in New Zealand about the show and encouraged them to see it. Chinese people outside of communist China feel very glad and proud to see that the DPA presented the essence of Chinese culture."

For programs on stories of Falun Gong practitioners persecuted by the Chinese Communist Party, Ms. Ping was sympathetic. "I have sympathy towards Falun Gong. Though I have been away from China for many years, I know there are too many unfair things and corruption in China. When I left China, this was one reason. I wanted freedom and a happy life."

At last, Ms. Ping said, "I felt that the performance presented fully Truth-Compassion-Tolerance. It reached a high realm through art."

Mr. Wan Ming from mainland China said after watching the show, "I felt like I returned to a very pure world. There is no such pure performance in China."

He said, "I think that traditional Chinese culture promotes mankind's moral excellence and is a graceful culture. Such a traditional and righteous culture is lost in China. There is no such performance in China. Many traditions are discontinued in China. Such traditions should be continued in China since it has a 5000-year civilization!"

Mr. Wang said, "Chinese people cannot forget their roots. It is important to present a universal value, Truth-Compassion-Tolerance. The performance has a high artistic level. One has a peaceful feeling after watching the show."

"I will tell my friends and relatives," said Mr. Wang with a smile, "the DPA attracts audiences not only because of its great skills, but because of its presentation of the essence of Chinese ancient culture, which moves people."

Mr. Fan used to be a teacher and has lived in New Zealand for twelve years. After watching the show, he highly praised the DPA's promotion of Chinese traditional culture and was especially impressed with the program, "The Power of Awareness".

Mr. Fan

He said, "The DPA promotes Chinese traditional culture, safeguarding justice and struggling against evil. This is mankind's universal value. I highly commend it. The performance encourages people's sense of justice."

Ms. Ling from Malaysia studied dance before and admired the high-level skill of the DPA performers while watching the show. She said, "I think they are outstanding and deserve their international renown. I studied dance before, but the dances I learned did not come from Chinese culture--they contained some western elements. The program 'The Loyalty of Yue Fei' was a wonderful depiction of profound Chinese culture."
