(Clearwisdom.net) After the Shen Yun Performing Arts show in Ottawa on January 10, Ms. Huang Yanmei said, "I've seen Shen Yun show four times, and this year the show is better than before. The dances, costumes and background scene are more beautiful. The stories behind the dances are easier for the audience to understand." "The audience gets to enjoy the art and learn some history," she said, "it is really a pity for those who did not come. I think they should not miss this chance."

Ms. Huang, leader of a Chinese community group, anticipates even more Chinese history in future shows. She said, "Many Chinese stories talk about the principle of 'good meets good and evil meets evil,' which should be passed on to the new generation."
Ms. Huang highly praised the show, and her favorite part was the 3-dimensional background scenes. She also liked the men's powerful dancing. "Most Western people don't know Chinese culture, so I hope they will learn more about it through this show," she said.
Mr. Luo is the CEO of a local company, and he said that he would never forget this show. "I've never seen such a beautiful show," he said.

Although Mr. Luo does not speak Chinese, he loves Chinese culture. "It is a great cultural journey for Westerners," he said, "It's different than other shows. The artistic level is high, and it helps people find a lost culture."
Mr. Yu, an electrical engineer, said that the show demonstrated genuine traditional Chinese culture. "It is really rare. It promotes pure traditional Chinese culture. You cannot see this in China," he said.
Mr. Yu and his friends
Mr. Yu saw a show from China a few days ago. He said regretfully, "The show was organized by the Chinese government, and the purpose of the show was to praise the communist party. From the Shen Yun show, I saw the true Chinese culture."
"Every program was great. I particularly like the last one--Buddha Fa Spreads, which described how Buddhism spread in China in the Tang Dynasty. It shows that divine culture," he said.
"It promotes justice, truth, compassion and forbearance," Mr. Yu said in conclusion.
