(Clearwisdom.net) On March 29, 2009, Shen Yun Performing Arts held their first show at Canberra Theatre Centre in Canberra Australia.

Siya, a Chinese student from Shenzhen, China, is working on her MBA in Canberra. She watched the show with her friend and said that although she was born and raised in China, she has never seen such a wonderful show. "It was very traditional Chinese. I felt good that people can see it in Australia."

Mr. Chou said that Shen Yun has brought different programs to the audience, with something new each year, and the programs are well organized.

Mr. Chou believes that if Shen Yun can hold shows during a certain time every year in Taiwan, it will help the tourism business in Taiwan. "Shen Yun has a well-trained performance team and good organizers. I hope some day that the Taiwanese News Bureau can collaborate with Shen Yun in doing business."

Mr. Shen, a Chinese who came to Australia four years ago, saw the show last year, and he came again this year, "This is the culture from my own country. It is very touching that we can see it here." "The show brought people the beauty of Chinese culture, the power of belief and morality, the contrast of compassion and evil, the benevolence of Buddha, the magnificence of heaven, the memory of history and the meaning of life. It has rich and profound contents," Mr. Shen said.

He said that the show should be played in China, letting Chinese people see their true culture. "The shows in the communist country are not art, but political propaganda, and are brainwashing people," he said. He likes the Falun Gong programs. "I admire their spirit despite the persecution. I had a great night, and I am grateful to Shen Yun," Mr. Shen said.
