Mr. Chen does choreography, musical composition, and stage design. He especially appreciated the DPA's stage design, "The stage design, the tools, and the stage decorations are terrific. I am also very impressed with the lighting and sound effects in the show." Chen thought the show contained a spiritual quality that could improve people's morality. The stories about gods and Buddhas touched him.

Mr. Chen was most impressed by "The Loyalty of Yue Fei," "This program, with the drum dance, creates a powerful atmosphere." "I can see the artists spent a lot of effort in learning how to carry themselves gracefully and hold on to what they believe, which makes them very respectable."

"I have a sense of responsibility in cultural development and, to be honest, I would like to understand how this company promotes a show that can attract so many people--it's truly unprecedented," said Mr. Chen.

When Mr. Chen learned that most of the artists are second generation Chinese from the US, he was impressed, "It started in New York and comes all the way to Taiwan. That is great! I hope the third and fourth generations can continue the spirit. I am truly moved."
