When the opera was staged at an international conference center in Xi' an city, Shaanxi Province, it completely mesmerized the Chinese audience.

They were unsparing in their praises of the opera.

Wen Yana, general manager of a company, congratulating Korean artistes on their successful performance, said:

The opera was very splendid. I have never watched such a fascinating opera. Korean arts have reached such a high level.

Zheng Guangmin, an employee of Xi' an bank, had this to say:

This revolutionary opera will always be remembered by the Chinese as a masterpiece.

We extend thanks to the dear respected Kim Jong Un for sending the art troupe performing the opera to China.

Tan Zhuzhi working at the Electronics Institutes of Shaanxi Province said:

President Kim Il Sung and leader Kim Jong Il were distinguished great men and geniuses of arts.

Chen Fangquan, editor of the Shaanxi TV, and other Chinese who enjoyed the opera noted:

The opera was a perfect combination of the ideological and artistic contents, truthful acting of artistes, graceful and sweet music, fascinating dances and unique stage decor.

The audience greatly admired the beautiful voices of artistes. Its music was peculiar in its character.

The melodies of the opera will be always remembered by the Chinese people as famous music.

The audience could not watch the miserable fate of the family of Kottbun and the scenes of the opera without tears in their eyes
