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.
China before communism was a brutal dictatorship but because the west has a boner for monarchism they eat this shit up. I did when I was a lib.
Residual love for the "enlightened monarch" with "liberal values"
catherine, napoleon iii, pedro ii etc
Aesthetics and naivety of not realising that everyone else in a monarchy lived in their own shit to support their lifestyle
Lol, they actually have to put 'China before Communism' on their posters now. They have the same problem as Bong Joon Ho, American (and Canadian) audiences refuse to acknowledge any broader themes let alone subtext, so all they take away from a show about the evil communists killing the nice landlords is 'China has cool dancing'. They would literally get the same reaction if they performed The East Is Red.
You should find a square red pin, put it on your lapel in an easily visible and eye catching spot, then walk up to these dweebs and say something along the line of "we watching you. We're disappointed by your hatred of the Motherland and hope you come to your senses before its too late." Then turn around and walk away immediately.
What better place to see authentic Chinese culture than the theatre named after a British monarch?
The China Before Communism line has to be new lol. I swear I never noticed it before.
I actually saw a Facebook ad with that line and it was filled with boomers being like "oh so are we going to get to see a bunch of opium addicts dead on the street?"
UNEXPECTEDLY BASED BOOMERS :CommiePOGGERS:
Opium is handed out to the audience and they are executed along with their families if they refuse
China before communism
The show is so realistic, especially when eight different armies storm the theater and kill everyone.
As we all know, China had a century of glory before the communists took over and ruined it all
Making language more accessible to improve literacy is communism!!!
Was super interesting to find out that Shen Yun and The Epoch Times are like the two main revenue streams for the Falun Gong lol
I would be surprised if they are not getting funding from the US State/CIA, secretly at least.
The communist Chinese CCP once took away all the eggs in China from their rightful owner, without paying any compensation. This just shows how evil they are!
I'm functionally illiterate in chinese, wtf is shen yue,
Idk if you mean like, literally what it means in Chinese or who they are.
I dont remember what the name means but basically they are a mix of Chinese scientologist/cult types and reactionary traditionalists who teach things like mixed race couples wont go to the same heavens or that gay people are a plot by satan(communism is also a satanic plot) and also that belief in their leader will cure illnesses better than modern medicine(This has of course literally killed people).
They operate under a lot of names, the core organization/cult is the Falun Gong, Shen Yun is their dance performing wing where they perform an anticommunist reactionary version of Chinese history, they have several media outlets in print and digital media etc.
Good. The 5000 years where of inbred kings and warlords. If it is stuff like the story if nezha it deserves to be left in the past
Take their freezer stuff and throw it away in front of them.
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."
