Features: In the human world, faces are the pillars of mutual recognition between people and also important tools for expressing emotions. Faces are composed of commonalities and individualities due to their physiological characteristics, and their connotations determine both the material and spiritual aspects. The fundamental difference between humans and other natural creations lies in the fact that only humans can reach the pinnacle of the sensory world with just their faces. The faces stored in our minds constitute the most important part of each of our private memories, while every face collectively remembered by humanity carries a special emotion that drives civilization forward. Together, they form the spirit and values of humanity. The contemporary photographers in this book have documented some extraordinary faces, which come from almost every corner of our turbulent world. Most importantly, these faces in the photographs have often provoked strong public opinion shock worldwide, becoming an important part of contemporary history.
