Features: In China, there is a group of people who, to most of us, we are accustomed to learning about the world from television and newspapers. This habit proves that we are fortunate, because 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 the entire society and the fate of other groups behind these events and stories. However, there is another group that must directly face these challenges. They travel tirelessly to remote or dangerous places, year after year, engaging in lonely waits or arduous pursuits—not just to fill news time or pages, but more importantly, to witness the history we are living through.
