Well-known Taiwan Cartoonist Mr. Liu Xingqi and His Wife Watch the Shen Yun Show
Vividly Displays the Essence of Divine Culture
Mr. Liu Xingqin's achievements have brought him numerous awards, including cartoon awards, art awards, Geneva International Invention Silver and Bronze awards, Top Quality Award at New York World Invention Expo, and Life-time Cartoon Gold Medal, etc. He also obtained an honorary PhD. title from the United University in the U.S. and approval from five presidents.
On March 21, after Mr. Liu watched the Shen Yun show at noon, he highly praised the show, "Today I am very lucky to have seen the Shen Yun show. I would regret it for the rest of my life if I had not come to watch this show. Thank you! Thank you!"
Mr. Liu had been longing to watch the show. He was so excited that he could not sleep well for several nights before the show. He liked the show so much that he said the dance was superb. Although the programs were not very long, each vividly displayed the essence of traditional ancient Chinese culture. The content of the show is rich and meaningful. Mr. Liu said, "That's why I am very excited and very happy that today I came to watch this show."
Mr. Liu Xingqin highly praised the smooth and natural arrangement of the show. He could feel the essence of traditional Chinese culture from each program and the performers' dance movements. He was most impressed by programs such as "Dance of the Yi," "Dance of the Snow-Capped Mountain," and "The Monkey King Triumphs." He also highly praised the rich content of the show as beautiful and touching, especially with the perfect combination of the high-tech 3D backdrops and the dancers' movements. He continued, "I was touched by every program from the very beginning. The backdrop, modern technology and ancient dance combine to present an unexpected result."
The Shen Yun Show Inspires Creation of Art Work
The program "Heaven Awaits Us Despite Persecution" describes Falun Gong practitioners in China who are suffering brutal persecution, yet still hold firmly to their belief. This program addresses how a life is finally upgraded to eternity and returns to the divine world. It touched Mr. and Mrs. Liu, and they both shed tears during this program. He commented that the entire show was delivering the message of "Truth-Compassion-Forbearance." Especially the last program "Knowing the True Picture Offers Ultimate Hope" which tells of the existence of divine beings and brings forth people's benevolent side.
Mr. Liu Xingqin said, "The program 'Miraculous Exhibit' is very interesting. The young man (who had a broken arm) learned the exercises and suddenly realized that his arm had recovered. That's very moving. Excellent!"
The program "Monk Jigong Abducts the Bride" tells a story about Jigong using his wisdom to save villagers and avoid the disaster of being buried by a collapsing mountain. Mr. Liu Xingqin thought the content was designed very well. After all those scenes, nobody expected that it would have such a turn-around. He said, "This can inspire scientific imagination and creation. It's worth encouraging. This show is worth watching again and again. We should have more programs like this, because they are inspiring and encouraging and they promote the spirit of love. It's really very precious."
Excellent Art Show. I Want to Keep Watching It.
Mrs. Liu, who was sitting next to Mr. Liu, said, "It's a wonderful show! I feel that it is a perfect manifestation to see traditional Chinese dance and music combined. Today, I enjoyed a very nice art show." She expressed her appreciation for the Shen Yun show.
"I am very happy!" Mr. Liu Xingqin was very excited and touched by the Shen Yun show, "I am in a good mood! I haven't felt so relaxed for a long time. Today, not only I was relaxed, I also learned a lot of new things and felt inspiration. I think it will help with my own art." He continued, "I could easily watch a show like this for a few days. I don't want to leave. I am glad that I came. Otherwise, I would regret it for the rest of my life."
