In traditional Chinese culture, people like to use natural phenomena to express their emotion, and the image of geese flying away is often used to express longing for relatives in faraway places. People hope the geese can bring the best wishes to their loved ones. The Geese Flying Away concert was performed at the Michael J Fox Theatre in Vancouver, Canada, on Oct 26. Organized by the Vancouver Chinese Mama Society and VBCM Productions, the concert combined singing, dancing and instrumental music with light and background screen effects. The rich visuals and sound effects offered contrasting moods to represent the emotions of Chinese immigrants in the city. PHOTO BY YIHENG SU / FOR CHINA DAILY
