From its humble beginnings to becoming an international phenomenon, it’s clear that Shen Yun is more than art—it’s a movement of courage, beauty, and hope. When people leave a Shen Yun performance, they’ve witnessed breathtaking beauty — but also glimpses of a history that the Chinese Communist Party has tried to erase. For those listening, if you’ve never experienced Shen Yun, I encourage you to do so. It is more than a performance—it’s an immersion into history, faith, and the resilience of the human spirit.
Shen Yun Conductor Ying Chen on 18 Years of Reviving China’s 5,000-Year Culture Through Music, Dance, and Resilience
My guest today on Your Partner In Success Radio is Ying Chen, and her story reads like a symphony of courage, resilience, and unshakable faith.
In 2006, she stood at the conductor’s podium as Shen Yun Performing Arts was born—not in the glitter of Broadway or the security of an established institution—but as an all-volunteer effort by first-generation immigrants determined to bring back 5,000 years of Chinese civilization nearly erased by communist rule. Against impossible odds, they transformed that vision into what is now the fastest-growing performing arts company in American history.
But Ying’s journey goes far beyond the music. Her family in China endured detention and torture for holding to their beliefs. Instead of silencing her, those experiences gave her voice even more power. Today, through Shen Yun’s orchestra, she leads a sound that does more than entertain—it awakens memory, revives culture, and delivers a message of hope to audiences worldwide.
Ying’s life reminds us that even in the face of tyranny, the human spirit cannot be crushed. It finds a way to rise, to create, and to inspire. And that is exactly what Shen Yun does every time the curtain goes up.
