"Dragon Princess Olivia Zhang delivers the beauty of Chinese culture and of the sword skills to the audience through her performance of the sword art. Sword play is the representation of classic Chinese traditional culture. Sometimes the movements are soft like drops of water yet strong enough to penetrate boulders. Sometimes the movements are like thunderclaps roaring across the heavens. Her performance, powerful and gentle, free and elegant, in both form and spirit, demonstrates the essence of the Chinese culture – bravery, steadfastness, and perseverance. She is the new-generation messenger of the Chinese culture!"
Her work has been broadcast in over 50 countries worldwide.
