Shen Yun Recension: Heiko Schrang, best-selling German author

“When the show started, I felt at once that I left my mind behind and that only my heart was present. And my heart also opened immediately. The images as well as the messages are so overwhelming. And I think it is great that in our modern times, when people are somewhat discontent, when we in the West suffer from exhaustion and depression, people can receive these messages, the message that there is more to it than just what we see. Yes, people are encouraged [by the fact that]—in this time that seems so very cold and dark, where we have children who sit at home occupied with only their smartphones and tablets—a performance of the highest caliber is being shown here. And I certainly hope that more people and more cities can receive these messages, which can only come through the heart. The energy, which you could almost grab hold of, in the space was amazing. And, in my opinion, more and more people should learn about the performance... Absolutely, that is a magnificently inspiring. After all, everything is already in us. But let me put it this way: it is like becoming awakened. The idea behind it is that one truly becomes aware of oneself; knowing oneself, one will know God. ”
