Germany: "It is excellent to use such a show to awaken interest in China, human rights and a peaceful coexistence"

A Member of the Bundestag from the Green Party, Cornelia Behm, was quite impressed with the Chinese Gala Spectacular", performed at The International Congress Centre in Berlin. After seeing the show on Sunday March 15th, she explained that she had to reflect on what she had seen.

The show was "something special and very moving," said the politician. She found in many of the scenes a clear delineation between good and evil, especial in the scene 'The Risen Lotus Flower".

She thoughtfully said, "What makes me more aware now is what is happening to Falun Gong. The three women who were beaten opened another understanding within me."

She thought that the choreography was excellent. She summed up her thoughts in one sentence, "I also find it very good that in all the scenes there is an awakening of hope that one has to fight, that one can't give up and in the end, things will turn around."

The political issues in the show will help people in Germany to come to grips with today's China, versus the traditional China. This will in turn get them moving towards defending human rights.

"It is excellent to use such a show to awaken interest in China, human rights and a peaceful coexistence," said the member of the Bundestag before parting.

She added that the Olympic Games are an excellent venue to demand adherence to human rights by the Chinese regime.
