Racing car manufacturer Chip Quinn and his wife Judy Chan watched Shen Yun’s performance for the first time.
Quinn said he liked Shen Yun’s performance very much, “It makes people happy to see such art being preserved, especially in such a difficult situation.” He said, “I know that China’s Cultural Revolution destroyed a lot of past culture, so It’s great to be able to see Chinese traditional culture now.”
