Representatives of media such as People's Daily, The European Times, Radio France and De Telegraaf watched SBT's performances in Paris on Nov 3 and 4 (local time).

"It is an elaborately devised performance by very professional dancers. What I saw in it are innovation and advance instead of imitation and reproduction. European audiences like differences. So, it will be surely a blockbuster in the rest of the tour," said Barbara Molendijk, a senior Dutch media professional who had watched the performance in Suzhou one month before.

The performances also attracted many Chinese in Paris. Zhuang Tingting, a Jiangsu-born woman who has been living in Paris for more than 10 years, watched the ballet together with her husband and child.
"I'm very excited and proud to see such a marvelous ballet from my hometown staged in Paris,” Zhuang said. “It is creative and easy to understand. I will recommend it to my friends," her husband added.
