"It is in my heart because I do the acupuncture and I have been living in China together for one year."

"So the intent they do it with, all the cultural background and history and philosophy and the messages they will give, everything is very, it is a very good impact, makes a very good impact and I get very moved when I see it.

She said the music was very excellent and the performance was very professional.

"I like all the parts very much - I do. But that one gives me lots of energy on a high level. It's when she plays, the musician, on the two strings [the erhu].

She also enjoyed the "Victory Drums" and all the other performances.

"I like it but the two strings [erhu] it is very, very…I get lost…."

She said she used to take qigong classes, a traditional Chinese form of exercise.

"I don't do it now. I just do it myself mostly. I am very close…close…China is very close in my heart."
