They even gave me a free calendar! The costumes and sets look lovely!

They told me just how terrible the CCP is. Did you know the Chinese Communist Party is eradicating 5000 years of Chinese history??? It’s so sad.

    I didn't know this shit was affiliated with like the scientology flavor of religious cult but the wiki pages for Shen Yun and Falun Gong are BUCK WILD. It's also wildly anticommunist which may be obvious from the title but like...

    Here's an excerpt from the 'reception' subsection of the Shen Yun page:

    "Chairman Mao appeared, and the sky turned black; the city in the digital backdrop was obliterated by an earthquake, then finished off by a Communist tsunami. A red hammer and sickle glowed in the center of the wave. [...] a huge, bearded face disappearing in the water, [...] a tsunami with the face of Karl Marx."
