I can't believe you haven't seen 'Thousand Hands and Thousand Eyes' yet!!!

In Dunhuang, a soul-stirring and deeply emotional performance—'Thousand Hands and Thousand Eyes' is waiting for you to embark on this journey of art and culture. 'Thousand Hands and Thousand Eyes' is the first collaboration between the China Disabled People's Performing Art Troupe and the cultural tourism sector. It innovatively tells the touching story of 'Miaoshan Saving Her Father.' Miaoshan, a woman with a heart full of great love, was born in the legendary land of Dunhuang. When a strange illness shrouded her hometown like a dark cloud, and when her father was also suffering from the torment of illness, she did not retreat or hesitate in the slightest. To find the 'Fish Star' herb from the Crescent Spring and the seven-colored feathers of the Peacock Divine Bird, she endured numerous hardships and obstacles. Even if it meant exchanging her own hands and eyes—the 'six roots'—for the thousand hands and thousand eyes of the Guanyin Bodhisattva, she was willing to do so.😖 When the 'Thousand Hands and Thousand Eyes' performance begins, the dancers use their agile👯‍♀️, resolute😎, and graceful movements to portray every step of Miaoshan's journey, every struggle, and every deep emotion. The music on stage seems to be extracted from the sound of the wind in the Singing Sand Mountain and the water in the Crescent Spring. Every note is deeply rooted in the soil of Dunhuang culture🎵. The colorful stage costumes draw inspiration from the colors and clothing culture of Dunhuang murals, making us feel as if we are seeing the aesthetics and wisdom of the people who lived on this land thousands of years ago🎨. Every expression😃 and every movement👏 of the actors resonate with the compassion and love conveyed in the only existing Guanyin-themed mural in Mogao Cave 3, 'Thousand Hands and Thousand Eyes Guanyin Sutra Transformation.' This performance is not just an artistic presentation; it is a revitalization of the spirit of love💖, dedication🙌, and perseverance in Dunhuang culture. It is the perfect fusion of ancient Dunhuang culture and modern art, a re-sounding of the great love in 'Miaoshan Saving Her Father' through the passage of time🎶. Come to Dunhuang, to experience the cross-temporal, visually and audibly stunning feast brought by 'Thousand Hands and Thousand Eyes,' to find the home of your soul, and to discover a deeper respect and love for Dunhuang culture🥰.
