Features: Demu Danzengcuo (1901-1973) was a famous patriotic figure among the upper class in Tibet. He was also a high-ranking living Buddha, one of the four major Lín Khutughtu of Tibet, appointed by the Qing Dynasty. His son, Wangjудо, born in 1949, is a renowned modern photographer in Tibet. During his time, Tibet underwent significant social changes, so his works primarily reflect the development and progress of the Tibet Autonomous Region over the past 40 years since its establishment, especially the economic growth, people's livelihoods, cultural education, religious beliefs, nature conservation, customs, and the portrayal of individuals since the reform and opening-up. His photographic works have won numerous awards both domestically and internationally. Compiling Wangjудо's photographic works alongside those of his father into a single collection will help readers experience the different social realities of old and new Tibet through the perspective of a family over nearly a century, truly feeling the progress of the Tibetan people and gaining insights.
