Director of Aviation Development Resonates With Shen Yun’s Mission

For Henk Guitjens, an aviation consultant and director of aviation development for Global Elite Group, Shen Yun’s mission to revive China’s 5000-year-old culture hit a chord. “I think the mission is very good. I think it’s time we have to understand that after 1948, a lot of the things were pushed away and of course different politics, communism coming in,” Guitjens said. In China, communism destroyed almost all traditional beliefs and customs, through a series of campaigns such as the Cultural Revolution. Shen Yun aims to revive the traditional culture of China and share it with the world. “I really like the spiritual side of things so when it was talking about in the heavens and that kind of stuff was really interesting to me,” said Tarra McCarthy, director of development of the non-profit 4th Dimension Recovery Center.
