[@jeffreysetapak]

Oh yeah, you handsome sexy loverboy.

[@davidd8892]

Just got home from it, was pretty cool, kind of disappointed i didnt get closer seats to the stage . Couldnt see the details in the costumes, but they were crazy cool. Your cardio must be top notch! 2 hours of that is crazy!

[@3MusketeersUSA]

Thanks for joining us David!

[@lindareed8265]

The dancing is surely awesome. Too bad it's the front for a hate-group cult. Go check out what Falun Gong is all about. The show is pretty, but the politics they fund is very ugly indeed.

[@jamescps8799]

William is such a talented young man with leadership and communication skills.

[@3MusketeersUSA]

Your comment is humbling, still a lot to learn :)

[@robbiewalker2831]

@@3MusketeersUSA pardon me for the comment on the thumbnail, but his outfit reminds me of Sun Wukong; which isn’t a bad thing, I just like the story of Journey to the West, and the character that this outfit reminded me of.

[@ponopost]

Such an honor to play the Monkey King in dance & drama! It speaks to your talent and discipline. Keep your light shining and the stories coming…

[@3MusketeersUSA]

Will do~

[@laurence2824]

This young man's message of perseverance is important. Just when I became a university Senior Lecturer in Music, became a published composer with international commissions for new compositions and had my Music featured on national television I suffered a brain haemorrhage which nearly killed me. Paralysis means I can no longer play the piano or write. Initially I pondered whether life even remained worthwhile. The answer was a resounding YES. I needed to change my perspective: instead of a creator of art I realised I could now truly immerse myself in the beauty of other people's creativity and share that enthusiasm through Music and Literature appreciation groups. Of course I occasionally hurt, thinking back on my lost career in Music, but pursuing the next stage in my life is also thrilling and nourishing. Never give up - however insuperable life's cruelest challenges might appear at first.

[@dleblanc172]

Thank you for sharing an encouraging message❤

[@PNQuinn]

That's very encouraging. I suffered a brain injury just as my life was taking off. I was angry & frustrated for a long time. I lost a lot and now I am finally receiving disability. I am very grateful for that because I cannot work now and had to depend on my brother for 7 years to recover as much as I have. Then after working for about 18 years became unemployed and lived with my sister for 11 years. Now I am living on disability. They are now gone, and I am alone most of the time but try to give meaning to my life.

[@eustathiosstratis5348]

Beautiful words of wisdom that I share with you. I am now 74 with various health problems but because of the excellent training I received I still teach voluntarily Tango Argentino. Kudos to you for your incredible achievements. You are truly admirable.

[@sundancer7381]

Thanks for the beautiful dancing.....and the lovely idea that the journey was not a waste of time.....and always teaching you something.

[@localboi75]

As my dad always told me, if you fall, get up and do your best. As you grow older, a chapter of your life will close and you open up a new chapter. You have such a positive attitude towards life and struggles but as you said, we grow stronger. Always a great mentor. Aloha Hawaii

[@sekkohsam]

Thank you guys for this channel. You inspire me to keep me going and pursue traditional Chinese Martial Arts 🙏🏻

[@3MusketeersUSA]

We’re glad to hear that! 💪

[@MayimHastings]

I can just imagine you, lit from behind by a flickering streetlight, flipping and spinning down a dark alley at some petrified mugger 😁. But seriously, i could watch you dance forever! And that kind of discipline, positivity, tenacity and grit equals one mighty superpower! So happy to have found your channel. Shalom! 🤍🙏🕊

[@fran-gx3kf]

Wow! We can listen stories in English from a lead dancer from Shen Yun. Any story is captivating but how you started out dancing is 👍👍👍💜💙💚 and more.

[@bugpal]

I'm disappointed. I thought this was going to be dishing dirt on Shen Yun 😅

[@NoMatterPink]

[@cristinamartinez3794]

Me too 😂

[@BodaciousWench]

Why would you want that? Why would you want to read about someone dishing dirt on something?

[@SL-up5pl]

Same here

[@bettywhitelouie1868]

😊wow,I always wanted to go to see the show of Shun Yun, my children are blasians 1st and 2nd generation ( black/Chinese)but the show was never in our area,what a shame but yet rewarding because now you are fully in charge of your destiny. Never give up,keep moving forward. ❤❤❤😊

[@lindareed8265]

I'm glad you never went to see it. Shen Yun is the front and money-making enterprise for a hate-group cult. They believe that your children can't go to heaven because every race has their own heaven, and there's no place for mixed people. I know people from that cult personally. They're just as nice of people as individuals of any other belief system, but they are behind a lot of the media pushing conspiracy theories in the US, have been funding anti-democratic causes like re-writing the truth about the Jan 6th insurrection, and think Trump is literally (I mean literally as in truly, not metaphorically or exaggerating) a kind of Christ figure who is meant to carry out the anti-trans and homophobic agenda because apparently that's the biggest threat to mankind. Their leader is completely insane. He claims to be able to levitate and have special knowledge of ancient cultural practices (he can't and doesn't). He brainwashes people into believing anything he says and automatically rejecting anything that contradicts that. My friend was jailed for a year in China because she was (is) a member of this religious cult. I heard these things from her and have since confirmed this information elsewhere. It's terrible that she was jailed for her beliefs. And she says she doesn't want anyone to get hurt just because they don't fit their hetero-cis ideal. But that is exactly what their money and efforts are being used for. They also reject "modern" and "Western" medicine and science. This friend had an accident and several of her front teeth got broken off/chipped - like only half of the teeth were left. She was told by her religious leaders not to get her teeth fixed by actual dentists because their "traditional" medicine (that isn't actually always traditional) could grow her teeth back - like grow a new set of teeth like when your adult teeth replace your baby teeth. She was supposed to wait for like 6 months so they could prepare the treatment or for the treatment to take effect (I can't remember now). She waited, and waited. Finally her niece asked her to just get them fixed so she would look nice in the niece's wedding photos, which she did. She walked around for several months in constant pain, always wearing a mask to hide her teeth, having trouble speaking, and risking infections because the cult is totally anti-science (except of course where it's convenient for them . They obviously have no problem with using communication technology.) Please go check this information for yourself. Talk to members of the Falun Gong group. Check out the financials and follow the money. You'll be glad you never gave them your hard-earned money.

[@suzesalmon9729]

Thank you🥰

[@dalmherganos]

Seriously, the saying in the end, "life is about the journey, not the destination" hit me hard. Thanks a lot, William. That's very positive and full of hope. This world is vast, so I also want to continue on exploring and learning new things. I'm sure you're a great dancer and supportive teacher, you're doing good job. I think I also watched Nezha protected his villager in 2014 in Aus too but I couldnt see the dancer's faces clearly but I loved the performance. Wish you the best on your journey, I'm sure challenges only make you better. 👍🏻I love Shen Yun. You're great. 💪🏻👏🏻❤️💐🌳

[@thugpreacha9490]

Mr.William Li, my hat is off to you, sir.(actually off to the Holy Spirit within you) You have been through so much character development and you actually trick us into thinking of you as a young man. (You are not OLD yet...but 😎 ) I encourage you to always be obedient to God and yet to allow Him to help you define your own emerging character as a teacher, role model, and quiet leader. I also want you, Kim, and Sam to know that I appreciate the 3 Musketeers videos. Strive for honesty and excellence and don't worry about popularity. God will make you popular if He needs you for that assignment. Much Love and Respect. (By the way, I don't want to see the "depression video, but it may help some people who struggle with depression! 🤕 ) ~Craig
