Features: This is a series of character-focused books that highlights historical photographs and image materials. It is said that we are living in an era of images, and this statement holds considerable truth. Regardless of television, film, CDs, and other media dominating cultural consumption and reading trends, the rise of old photographs, old cartoons, and old illustrations as historical relics alone demonstrates that people are no longer content to experience life and history through text. They are increasingly willing to read about characters and history through historical images. Indeed, individual living scenes, portraits, and even pages of manuscripts often contain more appeal and inspire readers' imagination than descriptive text. It is often puzzling why a small mountain city like Fenghuang could produce figures like Shen Congwen and Huang Yongyu, uncle and nephew, two generations of artists, in the 20th century. Through their respective creations, they made their own beautiful voices in China during the 20th century. At the age of 12, Huang Yongyu left the small town of Fenghuang alone to explore the outside world. However, the influence of his hometown on him was forever, deeply engraved in his memory.
