Rita said the idea from "Monk Ji Gong Abducts the Bride" was the same as hers when she started to hold art exhibitions. She got encouragement from the show, "As long as we want to purify society and make it more beautiful and benevolent, it won't be hard because we have always known what we wanted when we descended from heaven. This is the truth of life that we are seeking, like the show indicated."
Rita believes that we are all looking for the truth, and when we find it we will love ourselves and will have the power to love others.
