FOR MILLENNIA, China’s dynasties were home to a world of profound and bountiful culture. That all changed in 1949 when the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) seized power. Viewing China’s spiritual and artistic heritage as a threat to its atheistic and materialistic ideology, the communist regime spared no effort to eradicate traditional Chinese culture and anyone who stood firm to defend it.
Then Shen Yun came with a mission to revive this 5,000-year-old culture. And so, every year since Shen Yun’s inception, Beijing has tried to undermine the company—threatening and intimidating theaters, pressuring local governments, and spreading misinformation about Shen Yun in the mainstream media and online.
Come find out why the Chinese communist regime is so afraid of Shen Yun and the revival of traditional Chinese culture. It’s time to see what the CCP doesn’t want you to see.
