Features: The ups and downs of life, the unbearable memories, and the beautiful recollections are all indelible footprints left on the path of life. What is worth remembering is always beautiful, yet it is like water that flows away, making the warmth of memory inevitably accompanied by a sigh of reminiscing about the past like smoke. Occasionally, when looking at a photograph, some scenes come vividly to mind, old dreams resurface, and one becomes deeply moved. Among them, there may be pure personal emotions, or they may involve the winds and tides of the times and historical events. Then, such photographs become historical documents, witnesses to history, and authoritative evidence. This is a great contribution of photography technology to society. However, any photograph that touches the heart and soul, with its specific scene, naturally becomes a focal point of emotion for each person. This applies to Yunnan, whether from its hundred years of historical winds and tides to its mountains and waters, from its human geography to its mysterious allure, many of which are carriers of epic and romantic stories. For this reason, these old and new photographs are like a bouquet of flowers offered.
