Professional artist Mr. Ma is original from Mainland China. He said in high spirit that the design of the show was top-class, the color coordination was wonderful, especially the use of blue in the peacock dance, and the music of the Mongolian dance was very authentic. He thought the drum dance was great too, and also liked the program about the persecuted practitioners lifted to heaven.

It spread the Chinese culture and was helpful in fostering a better community relationship between different ethnic groups. He hopes the show will come to Brooklyn every year.
