First lady returns home after U.S.-Canada visit
Taipei, Feb. 9 (CNA) First lady Chow Mei-ching returned to Taipei early Tuesday after a 12-day overseas trip that took her to the United States and Canada.
Consistent with her low-profile style, Chow smiled to a group of reporters after arriving at Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport at 5 a.m. but did not respond to their questions on how she felt about her just-concluded journey.
She instead asked reporters how they could get up so early to cover her return.
Chow departed Taipei Jan. 28 on the culture-themed trip in her capacity as honorary head of the Cloud Gate Dance Theatre of Taiwan, which performed in Washington, D.C. and Vancouver during the visit.
Council for Cultural Affairs Minister Emile Chih-jen Sheng, who accompanied Chow on her trip, said the visit was simply for cultural exchanges and did not carry any political implications.
“The Cloud Gate consistently received an enthusiastic response from the audiences for its exquisite performance, which made every one of us feel proud, ” Sheng said. “It was indeed a very successful cultural tour.”
At the invitation of Cloud Gate founder Lin Hwai-ming, Chou accompanied the troupe on its North American tour that took it to the U.S. capital and the Cultural Olympiad in Vancouver, Canada.
The troupe performed its signature work “Moon Water” at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington Jan. 29-30 and at the Cultural Olympiad in Vancouver Feb. 5-6.
Chow was the first Republic of China first lady ever to visit Canada since the two countries severed diplomatic ties in 1970.
During her stay in Vancouver, Chow also attended a book donation ceremony at the Vancouver Public Library and read story books to local children. She also visited several cultural institutions in the city.
In addition to Cloud Gate, Taiwan’s U Theatre, Chai Found Music Work and LAFA & Artists Dance Group have also been invited to perform at the Vancouver Cultural Olympiad, which has been organized in celebration of the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics. (By Bien Chin-feng and Sofia Wu)
