(Clearwisdom.net) (Reporter Shen Rong from Australia) Australian author Qi Jiazhen watched the last presentation of the Divine Performing Arts (DPA) in Melbourne on March 30, 2008, she was very impressed. She said that the DPA show was not only the most beautiful and elegant; it also conveyed something deep and special. The show was a touching experience for her. She felt that the show was very remarkable.
Qi Jiazhen: "Thrilled!"
Ms. Qi said, "I think the show was just superb. I can hardly find the right expression to describe it. It was magnificent and colorful, and it was just fabulous! The performances are appealing to the eyes; the colors are bright and rich. The costumes are elegant. The men are handsome and strong, and the ladies are beautiful and lovely."
She was moved not only by the dance and music performances, but also by its implicit message. "The DPA expresses a spirit, a belief. I was moved throughout the performance," said Qi Jiazhen.
"I think the stories of the show are very touching and profound, especially the dance 'The Loyalty of Yue Fei.' The show also expressed love of life and justice. All these are extremely important values. Nowadays China is undergoing a moral decline, corruption is everywhere. I think the artistic expressions should also have ideals in them. They should promote right values such as humanity and justice, and oppose evilness," said Qi.
She also said that she saw the best Chinese culture in the DPA show. She could feel the determination of Falun Gong through these shows. The dances and music conveyed to people the spiritual believes, and they also lead people beyond hardships and toward a bright future.
She said, "These programs showcased the most dazzling dances, and told people the most famous legends. The dances and music demonstrated the best of China's five thousand year history. They also provide evidence of Falun Gong's uncompromising courage."
"Falun Gong practitioners believe in Truth, Compassion and Tolerance, and they strive to become better people with inner beauty. In their everyday life, the practitioners tolerate and endure hardships and unfairness. When things become out of bound, they would also resist. Justice will prevail over evil. Freedom of belief is a fundamental human right. So if you follow the spirit of the show, you can overcome difficulties and reach a bright future."
Ms. Qi earned fame after her book "Tears of the Liberty" was published. She said as a writer, what she wrote in the book was just her own experience during the painful era in China. But the DPA show has a much more significant impact, "Only DPA can be this good and powerful. They are calling for justice on a world stage."
Finally she thanked the DPA for bringing her such a wonderful evening, "This is a coordinated effort. I truly appreciate and enjoy the fabulous show the DPA brought us."
