Features: For most of us, we are accustomed to learning about the world in a general way from television and newspapers. This habit proves that we are fortunate, as the environment we live in is peaceful. When we hastily scan distant disasters and misfortunes in the news every day, we rarely think deeply, let alone realize the state of society and the fate of other groups behind these events and stories. However, there is another group of people who must directly face these challenges. They travel tirelessly to remote or dangerous places, year after year, engaging in lonely waits or arduous tracking—not just to fill news time or space, but more importantly, to witness the history we are living through. This book collects unforgettable images recorded by China's finest documentary photographers about the reality of China. Most of these works have moved the emotions of society and the consciences of all. When we face these records, our time for reflection becomes longer, and our understanding of history deepens. Within them, we discover compassion and humanity, which inspire our passion, pain, love, courage, and sense of justice. More reflection and insight into contemporary China will create meaning for the future.
