LONDON—Mr. Li expressed gratitude to the organisers of the Chinese Spectacular, saying he was very moved after attending the show on Saturday night.

Mr. Li is originally from China and settled in the United Kingdom only two years ago.

"Normally the shows in China now are all commercialized and very low level. This show is overall very interesting and is very superior."

"I haven't seen this type of traditional Chinese dance for a long time," he said.

Mr. Li thought the show was very fascinating because it contained nothing base and no low level performances.

"It's a shame that my children can't be here to watch the show," he said. "It would be great for them to see this."

Mr Li said the Chinese Spectacular was spreading Chinese culture. He said that he really liked the dance the "Loyalty of Yue Fei".

"I find that the westerners also love it. The applause was incessant and as loud as thunder. In my heart I feel very proud, and I'm very moved. I thank the organisers and performers of the show very much."
