"The Divine Performing Arts performance was majestic and resplendent. They put in a great deal of emphasis on promoting traditional Chinese culture. In Mainland China, due to the long-term influence of the Chinese Communist Party's atheism, Chinese culture has been completely destroyed. Today's creative performance showcased the inherent culture in China. Taiwan has also preserved authentic culture. The Divine Performing Arts presented the Taiwan community with a positive inspiration. While atheism is rampant in the Mainland, Taiwan can be said to be the light of hope for the Chinese people. The redevelopment of traditional Chinese culture with love and originality in Taiwan is inspiring to all Chinese people."
