(Clearwisdom.net) The Divine Performing Arts (DPA) New York Company presented three shows in Chicago December 27-28. The company's unique 3-D backdrop vividly displayed the spiritually rich traditional Chinese culture and left many audience members in awe.
Apple is a businessman who has his own factory in China. He told the reporter that one of his sales representatives in China recommended the DPA show to him, and this was the second time he has seen the show in Chicago. He said, "The backdrop brought divine beings from heaven to the mundane world--what a beautiful scene. For those that don't know about Falun Gong, the show can help them easily understand Falun Gong's plight in China."
Apple said that he knew many facts about the persecution, as he does business in China and he commended DPA's effort to spread the principles of Falun Gong and its success in portraying the themes of "belief" and "hope." He said that no matter how severe the persecution is, one should never give up.
"My greatest hope is that this show will be performed in Mainland China one day," said Apple.
