HIROSHIMA, Japan--Lin is a 20-year-old girl from China who is currently
working in Japan. On February 15, after watching the Divine Performing Arts (DPA)
show along with some companions in Hiroshima, she lingered at the lobby and
hesitated to leave. Her face was filled with glorious splendor.
"Oh! It's really marvelous. I just don't know how to describe it. It's just
amazing," Lin said.
Chinese Girls in Japan
Heaven Awaits Us Despite Persecution was the dance
program which touched Lin most. "The program about the little girl, the
persecution one, made my eyes blur with tears. After the little girl's father
had been persecuted, a god came to rescue him and save their lives," Lin
said with tears in her eyes.
Lin lived through the atheist education in China. She didn't believe the
existence of gods and Buddha, but said that the gods and Buddha in the show were
so real. She could comprehend the theme that the show expressed, that gods and
Buddha created the five thousand years of Chinese civilization and to respect
gods and do good deeds. "I can understand the program, because I am
Chinese. We have persistently received the education which told us not to
believe the existence of gods, but after watching this show, I felt gods and
Buddha were so real," Lin said.
"It's my first time to see the show. It's really a great show. If the
Divine Performing Arts show comes to Japan, I will definitely go to see it
again," Lin said.
Due to recent incidences in China, such as the poisoned dumplings incident,
falsification practices during the Beijing Olympics, the tainted milk powder
scandal, etc., China's image in Japan had been affected. So for Lin, as a
Chinese person working in Japan, she often felt discrimination. While watching
the show, Lin also observed the Japanese audiences' reactions around her.
She said happily, "I was wondering how Japanese would feel after seeing the
show. They would definitely feel unbelievable. They have had a better impression
of China."
At the end, with joyfulness on her face, Lin said, "I'm going to call my
family after getting home tonight to tell them about DPA's magnificence."
