Commissioner Yang said, "We hope many people come to the show because to have an international group here is a rare opportunity. I hope that many arts groups will come to the show as well."
Yang has devoted a lot of effort to promoting art and cultural activities. He thinks such activities can help people to improve their mind and spirit. "The Divine Performing Arts uses Chinese culture as the main theme in their programs. The group will contribute greatly to the art and cultural aspects in Chinese society."
Yang didn't get a chance to see the Chinese Spectacular in 2007 when the group performed in Kaohsiung. He later saw a recording of the show and thought it was great: "Superb, excellent. I wish their world tour great success!"
Ye Nan-Ming, Deputy Commissioner of Kaohsiung County, wished that the DPA could perform in China and share this amazing "food for the soul" with the Chinese people, "The arrival of the DPA will share spiritual guidance with the people of Kaohsiung County. I hope one day the group can go to China so people there can enjoy this wonderful food for the soul."

In order for minority groups in Kaohsiung to be able to see the Spectacular, a fund raiser was held on February 29 at the Kaohsiung County government. The funds raised were donated to the Kaohsiung County Bureau of Social Affairs to help 50 people from minority groups to go to the show.
