Publishing Date: 2007-01-01
Features: Collect memories, freeze history; over 5,000 precious photographs and 5 million words of vivid records, recreating the survival and development of the Chinese people over more than a century. A single photograph, a piece of past, may only narrate the experience of an individual or a family, seemingly insignificant, yet it inadvertently reflects the history of a nation, a country. "Old Photos" was a sensation upon its release at the end of 1996, sparking a "culture boom of old photographs" and was ranked as one of the "50 major events in the publishing industry of New China over 50 years" and one of the "20 books that changed Chinese reading habits since 1978" (Volumes 1-10).
