Features: Contemporary excellent documentary photography, the real lives of ordinary Chinese people, the expression and inner world of an era. Our lack of interest lies not in focusing on suffering and ugliness, but rather in capturing them to drive them out of our minds. Documentary photography is a form of images taken by photographers who have long been focused on a subject and have conducted in-depth interviews, carrying sociological and historical-cultural significance. Compared to news photography, documentary photography does not emphasize timeliness and news value; its impact is long-lasting. The purpose of documentary photography is not just to tell a story, but also to reveal the rich background of that story, placing greater emphasis on portraying the inner spirit of the subject.
