Deng Wei's Social Evaluation

Li Keran: You are a serious person. I'm not wrong about you.

Zhang Yimou: In life, we often don't lack desires, what we lack is the will and strength to realize them. I will always remember that figure on the snowy mountain, struggling in the snow, that lonely, persistent and insignificant figure. This is my old classmate, my good brother Deng Wei, naive and sincere Deng Wei.

Zhang Yimou: How can an ordinary person get so many celebrities on his camera? I wonder how many insurmountable obstacles and difficulties there are. This is by no means something that ordinary people can do. None of us can do it.

Writer Liu Ning: Deng Wei's filming of Qian Zhongshu and his wife is very low-key, which can be regarded as a humanistic tendency. Photographers don't take a person as the object of photography, but have a deep understanding and deep emotional investment in this person.

Writer Liu Ning: Deng Wei began to rescue the older generation of intellectuals and cultural resources very early. Many intellectuals he photographed died soon. These old people experienced great physical and mental pain after ten years of turmoil. Deng Wei can do this, which shows that he has a very strong cultural awareness, knows the value of these old people, has a very deep concern, and shows a warm eye for cultural traditions.

Student in Deng Wei: Teacher Deng doesn't often tell stories about the hardships behind them. He will tell us more about how he arranged Mr. Deng, telling us that it is a person, not a photo, and we should understand and grasp each other's personality before shooting. He will do a lot of homework before and know each other's historical background and experience. Usually, before shooting, he will talk with the other party for more than ten minutes when conditions permit, thinking that he can grasp his character before shooting. If he feels uncertain, he would rather stop, go back to do his homework and come back later.
