James Ching-Nan Chang, director of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in New York, said Diving Performing Arts performance got more successful each year.
"The programs are more and more refined every year. The drums are very powerful. I like the way you pick Tang dynasty as the key theme. Tang Dynasty is the peak of Chinese culture. It has the best of everything. It has the best poetry, clothes, music, in every aspect, it is the best. That you use Tang Dynasty as the cultural setting for it is really good."
