What caused a once happy and peaceful village to suddenly erupt into chaos and turmoil without any apparent reason? The story of Happy Village serves as a microcosm reflecting the ongoing conflicts and challenges present in today’s world.

The storyline of “Back to the Origin” is indeed captivating. As the protagonist embarks on a journey through time and space, returning to the origins of the universe, Tai Ji brings everything to life. Seasons transition, the roots of martial arts are unveiled, and the intricate connection between humanity and nature becomes evident. This exploration encompasses the development of mankind and the future of our world.

Mr. Jones Hong, portraying the Mayor of Happy Village, holds a senior position in the technology industry. He reflects, “Why did this once happy and peaceful village suddenly descend into turmoil for no apparent reason? The journey of Happy Village mirrors the ongoing conflicts in our world. When people lose touch with their pure conscience, calamities and disputes abound. The key to peace lies within the hearts of individuals. The awakening of conscience, self-improvement, and divine assistance will guide us towards a brighter future.”

The cultural showcase featured five celestial creatures from the East – the dragon, phoenixes, peacocks, lions, and qilin (unicorns), along with Angels of Love from the West, bestowing blessings upon the world. Sean Shen, a semiconductor department manager and one of the dragon dancers, explained that nine disciples, spanning ages 20 to 60, collaborate to bring the dragon dance vividly to life. In ancient times, the simultaneous appearance of the dragons and phoenixes symbolized a world of purity and peace. Today, amid rapid technological advancement and material pursuit, people often lose their inner purity. The performance aims to rekindle the balance between technology and a pure heart to help individuals rediscover their inner conscience and lead more stable, harmonious lives. Combining modern technology, special effects, animation, sound, and light, the showcase not only highlights the beauty of art and culture but also imparts the enduring spirit and values of ancient traditions spanning 6,000 years. This unmissable experience bridges the gap between tradition and modernity, offering profound insights into the human condition.
