Chinese human rights lawyer Guo Guoting and well-known Canadian human rights lawyer Clive Ainsley experienced the Classical Chinese Dance of Shen Yun in Vancouver. Our correspondent has this story.

Chinese human rights lawyer Guo Guoting says Shen Yun offers the true cultural legacy of the Chinese people.

[Guo Guoting, Chinese Human Rights Lawyer]:
"To express the theme of the evening is to let people know from where they come. Where people have to return to. What we're supposed to do in this world, how to get back where we're coming from, that's what this is concerning."

[Guo Guoting, Chinese Human Rights Lawyer]:
"China's traditional culture, authentic orthodox culture, she also wanted to express this meaning, and then expand on that theme."

Canadian lawyer Clive Ainsley is an expert on China's legal system. He has spoken out many times against the persecution of Falun Gong in China.

[Clive Ainsley, Chinese Human Rights Lawyer]:
"The particular pieces dealing with the persecution of Falun Gong were very moving as well. I hope that they would be moving as well to people who don’t really know much about Falun Gong, or who don’t know much about what is going on in China or the crimes of the Chinese government."

[Clive Ainsley, Chinese Human Rights Lawyer]:
"Traveling through the world, outside of China - uncensored and portraying Chinese culture without any political overtones. I think that you can’t exaggerate the significance of that."
