A Chinese Person: "After Seeing the Chinese New Year Spectacular My Attitude Toward Life Totally Changed" By De Xiang, Clearwisdom reporter in Berlin
(Clearwisdom.net) "I appreciate New Tang Dynasty Television for
providing us with this opportunity to see such a wonderful performance. I have
totally changed my attitude toward life and come to know the true meaning of
life," said a Chinese person, after seeing the last show of the NTDTV
Chinese New Year Spectacular in Berlin, Germany on February 28, 2007. He was not
the only one to say so. "I Seemed to Have Returned to Heaven" After seeing the show, a German woman talked to some Chinese people, saying
that originally she went to the show just for fun, but was surprised to find
that it was so magnificent and that not only were the stage and the backdrop
very creative, but the ideas and content of the show were very unique. She added that she used to be a very conservative person, so it was hard for
her to accept something new and to talk to strangers. However, after seeing the
show, she felt like associating with Chinese people so as to learn more about
Chinese culture, as the show allowed her experience genuine Chinese culture.
Despite the fact that she had no idea about the Chinese songs sung in the show,
through the English subtitles on the stage backdrop and the singers' tones, she
could sense the magnificence of the performances. She felt as if she was taken
back to heaven or another dimension. She also expressed that she would pay more
attention to Chinese culture in future. Before leaving, she heartily embraced
that Chinese woman. "I Came to Realize the Meaning of Truthfulness and Compassion" Mr. Wittmann, Professor of Law Department at Viadrina University, Frankfurt
Berlin and his wife appreciated the show very much. Professor Wittmann mentioned
that as he could read the Chinese subtitles of the lines on the stage backdrop,
he was especially touched by contralto Yang Jiansheng's song entitled
"Tiananmen Please Tell Me." He perceived that this song has very
profound meanings, and both he and his wife have come to know the meanings of
Truthfulness and Compassion. He also mentioned that before going to the show,
they received some other invitations to various social functions including the
ones regarding Chinese martial arts, religions, Vietnamese festivities, etc. It
was hard for them to make a decision at that time, but they eventually chose to
attend the NTDTV Chinese New Year Spectacular show. Demonstration of Traditional Chinese Culture After the performance, many audience members lingered in the theater. A
Chinese person who has lived in Berlin for several decades told our reporter:
"It was indeed a marvelous performance, which has truly demonstrated
traditional Chinese culture. It is so peaceful, touching and wonderful, and it
is the best performance I've seen in the past. Since I learned the news about
the show from the Epoch Times several months ago, I started to anticipate this
show. Today I came here to see the show with my friends and I am glad that it
didn't disappoint me."
