Randy Hillier, Member of Provincial Parliament of Ontario, praised the show. "The show was wonderful, and the dances were very attractive," he said. "There was a story behind every program, which manifested the traditional Chinese values."
"I think those are the values that people of justice believe in. To me, morality, loyalty to family, and so on are basic values. I am glad to see that those are part of Chinese culture," Hillier said. "I didn't know much about ancient China. This show taught me about it."
"The programs made me think. I love the dance 'Lady of the Moon,' which was educational and entertaining," Hillier said. "It made you think. I have never seen such a show. The music and dance were great."
Marolyn Morrison, the mayor of Caledon, Ontario, said that the show gave people a great chance to learn about Chinese culture. "In the local newspaper, I have a 'Mayor's Column.' I will talk about this show in my article, letting more people know about it," she said.
Renrich Ashby, City Council member for Ajax, Ontario, came to the show with his family. The dance, music and costumes gave him a very deep impression. He didn't have any expectations before he came, but the show delighted him. "This is definitely world-class," he said. He was surprised that the music combined Chinese and Western instruments.
Mr. Ashby said he believed that many people would benefit from learning about traditional Chinese culture and values.
