"Its appeal is clearly universal," a Chinese state television reporter concludes on the steps of New York's Lincoln Center from the unanimously positive impressions she elicits from exiting theater visitors of what they had just seen.1 Indeed, since its premiere in 1979, Rain of Flowers along the Silk Road (Silu Huayu), a spectacular dance show from China's Gansu province, has pleased audiences and their leaders all over the world. As such, it has grown into one of the most lucrative assets of Beijing's "soft power" arsenal, promoting what President Xi Jinping has called the "Chinese Dream [for] the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation."2 Pitched as "a touching story of peace and friendship between [the] Chinese people and foreign merchants," Rain of Flowers reassures those concerned that a dream for the Chinese might turn into a nightmare for others and that China's current leadership aspires to nothing other than "a harmonious world of durable peace and common prosperity."3 KeywordsSilk RoadSoft PowerPublic DiplomacyHarmonious WorldCultural DiplomacyThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
