Divine Performing Arts Shakes the World, Chinese People Look Forward to the Day When DPA Comes to China

Jan. 28, 2008

(Clearwisdom.net) According to a recent report by Sound of Hope Radio, a listener in Nanjing, called Ping Ping, told the reporter that she watched the Chinese New Year Spectacular performed by Divine Performing Arts (DPA) on the Internet at the end of last year. She said that her soul was deeply shaken and touched by it. Ping Ping recommends this show highly, saying that it fully displays China's profound and great traditional culture.

Ping Ping said: "Divine Performing Arts truly represents the highest standard of Chinese artistic performance. Theirs was the most moving, touching and unforgettable performance among all the shows I have seen these past years! The graceful stage style and deep artistic element presents our profound and great traditional Chinese culture and well-established artistic tradition to a wide audience. Every performance on the program has deep connotations and extremely high artistic standards! Throughout the entire show, my heart felt warm, and I deeply experienced the pride of being Chinese!"

Ping Ping said that it is very hard for Chinese people who are living under the rule of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to see such a moving and unforgettable show. Everything presented by the performers on stage, from the costumes, music, dancing, and singing, transmits harmony and sacredness. One keeps thinking about it afterwards. She said that this was her best New Year gift from God - to have the good fortune to see such a show!

Ping Ping said that every New Year in China, people can only watch the New Year gala presented by the CCTV (the CCP's television network). Its content is empty boasting, affectedly unconventional, and is full of vulgar things. Even though it is lively, it actually makes one feel empty. Ping Ping said: "In order to increase viewer ratings, the CCTV program team invites some performances of a reasonable standard, and some famous celebrities to come up and make an appearance. In brief, they try their best to make each segment look like it is lively and interesting. They try to propose something new and different, win favor by ostentation, and create some very vulgar crosstalk sketches, to elicit the audience's laughter. But regretfully, the audience really cannot say anything positive or acknowledge it afterwards."

Ping Ping claimed that CCTV has abused its authority and monopolized the airwaves, and most people in China have no alternative at all. Therefore, they can't even say whether they like or dislike its programs.

Ping Ping continued: "In China, every Chinese New Year Gala must go through strict controls and follow a certain formula, with the aim to propagandize the "great, honorable, and correct" one-party dictatorship of the Chinese Communist Party government. It creates a facade of a prosperous and happy society, one in which people are satisfied and have good and healthy lives. After the pumped up, boisterous part, the audience gains nothing from watching the show. Such a big national television station has come to this today. We have no alternative but to say that it is a kind of sorrow for China, with its rich history and culture."

Ping Ping watched the NTDTV show on the Internet, and her biggest wish now is to see these artists' performance live on stage. She really hopes that Divine Performing Arts can perform in China, and help China, which has lost its culture for such a long time, revive once again.

Ping Ping said: "I really expect Divine Performing Arts to perform in China. I believe the arrival of Divine Performing Arts will bring Chinese society an unprecedented boost. The Chinese culture and traditional values delivered by Divine Performing Arts will cause each Chinese person to be unable to forget and abandon their culture. The audience will be joyful and praise it from their hearts. I earnestly anticipate the arrival of that day!"
