(Clearwisdom.net) KAOHSIUNG, Taiwan--Apparently, the show of New
York-based Shen Yun Performing Arts has been a choice destination where
celebrities from political, business, and literary circles socialize with one
another.
On the evening of March 17, about 10 members of the International Management
Council (IMC) showed up for the final show of Shen Yun Performing Arts in
Kaohsiung. During the intermission, Peng Guoxiong, former head of the IMC of
Kaohsiung, pointed at a number of gathering audience, saying, "The content
of the show is wondrous! So you see over there. ... Many of our council members
attend the show! I take great delight in it.
"Shen Yun has stayed in Taiwan for such a long time [staging successive performances in Taiwan for over a month.] Indeed it has its attraction. I attend the show. It's really very good! The show involves great content, profundity, and high quality. Much to my surprise, the costumes are particularly beautiful. Never have I seen such costume designs.
"Based on essence of Chinese culture, their performance is very
outstanding, authentic, traditional, and excellent. Each of the performers wear
an appealing expression on his or her face, which make viewers feel joyful and
comfortable. In short, I take great delight in the show," he said
laughingly. Seated in the fifth row, he was aptly able to observe performers'
facial expressions.
IMC was first founded in the United States in 1903 under the direction of few
foremen of the YMCA in the city of Hartford, Conn. At first it was called the
Industrial Management Club (IMC). Then branches were set up in over 40 states
across the United States, attracting numerous members, most of whom were
celebrities from business circles. In 1971 the organization's name was changed
to the International Management Council, but still used IMC for short.
Systematically organized and still vital, IMC carries out its policies based on
industrial democracy and has the reputation of nurturing leading figures for the
U.S. business circles. IMC has made great contributions to U.S. industrial
development.
The first IMC branch, the International Management Council of Taipei, was set up
on May 5, 1961, followed by the establishment of affiliated councils in Taiwan.
In addition, Taiwan-based IMC has developed a formal connection with U.S.-based
IMC and with business groups in Japan.
