A retired teacher from Mainland China, who is visiting his family in New York, was very excited after watching the show. He said: "This is even better than the Christmas Holiday Wonders show. I don't know how to describe it. This show really demonstrated the profound content and style of Chinese culture. I liked every program, especially the dance "Power of Awareness." The dancers passed on important messages through art. It was very touching."

He also recalled the history of the water sleeves dance; how it was invented and how it has developed.

Keiko Haga from Japan came to the show with her Korean boyfriend. Keiko was very happy to watch the traditional Asian show. She liked the background design and the drum dances. Her boyfriend said that he learned about the persecution of Falun Gong from the show, which made him sad. He hopes that the human rights situation in China will improve.

Eddie Demminss is a lawyer in New Jersey. His wife bought tickets to the show for him as a birthday gift. He seemed to have thoroughly enjoyed the gift. "This is the first time I have seen a show like this. I liked it a lot. Everything was beautiful, especially the dances," he said.

Mrs. Zhang, a 94-year-old Chinese woman, said excitedly, "This show is spectacular. I was so deeply touched. I am very happy that we Chinese people have such a wonderful show." Mrs. Zhang moved to New York four years ago from Anhui Province.

Several Chinese people also highly praised the show. Many of them liked the drum dances and the first program, "Creation."
