The world owes an apology to the photographer: did the girl in the photo who was skinny and hungry survive?

Nowadays, photographers often try their best to take good photos. A few years ago, a frog with a lotus leaf exploded on the Internet. However, behind this, the frog was treated inhumanely. Its foot was broken and covered with glue. Posing for a long time, it was the frog with an umbrella. There are many such unscrupulous photographers, but some are misunderstood.

On March 26th, 1993, the famous American The New York Times published a photo entitled "Hungry Sultan". In this photo, a skinny Sudanese girl is lying on the ground, not far behind her, squatting with a huge vulture, staring at her greedily, ready to enjoy a "good meal".

This photo was taken in the Republic of South Sudan in East Africa. The photographer is kevin carter, a South African photojournalist. Kevin was born in a black and white family. Pure white people look down on Kevin, and black people don't like Kevin of white descent. Kevin is in the middle, in a dilemma.

Kevin hated racial system since he was a child. When he was in his hometown, he witnessed a white man "bullying" a black woman. But in court, he said there was no evidence. In the end, the matter went away. Kevin, 23, was devastated. He also decided to become a photojournalist and use his lens to contribute to racial equality.

In just a few years, Kevin traveled all over South Africa and witnessed the atrocities of countless black people being beaten and injured. Among them, he once took a photo of "executing" a black man, which aroused great concern at that time, but also brought some troubles to Kevin's life.

1993, there was a great famine in South Sudan, and the United Nations hoped that journalists could report it. Kevin, who has been reporting on black events, naturally became the best candidate. In March of the same year, he and another reporter arrived in Sudan by plane to distribute food.

Within 30 minutes of distributing relief food, two people had the opportunity to take some photos. Kevin saw many skinny children and took some photos. Just as he was about to put away his camera, he found a child curled up on the ground as if crying.

Her mother is busy getting relief food and has no time to take care of her for the time being. At this time, a vulture fell behind the little girl. Kevin took them all in the photo without disturbing the vultures. After the photo was published, the famine in South Sudan attracted great attention and he won the Pulitzer Prize.

But it has also aroused great public opinion. A reporter also published a column to the effect that: Look at this selfish and uncaring media and reporter who won the Pulitzer Prize by stepping on the little girl's body. Everyone is criticizing Kevin.

Kevin also made a speech. After taking photos, he drove away the vulture. Moreover, the little girl is wearing a United Nations relief bracelet on her arm, and someone will come to help her. But the audience only believes what they see, and public opinion continues. What's more, when Kevin received the prize, his friend Tokeza was shot (mistaken for being killed).

Under such a heavy blow, Kevin felt that life was worse than death. He's just a photographer. He can't save Africans. He just wants to take a photo and wake up the last ray of light in people's hearts. On July 27th, 1994, the police found that Kevin committed suicide with carbon monoxide, which is the exhaust gas in his car.

He left the last note on his seat, "I'm really sorry, the pain of life far exceeds the joy." I was troubled by life-and-death killings and vivid memories of bodies, anger and pain ... "After Carter's death, his family was also harassed.

Her daughter is left out and looked down upon every day. In order to clear her father's name, she began to look for the little girl. Finally, at 20 1 1, she found the clue. The "little girl" was actually a boy named Kong Niyong. She was taken care of by the United Nations Food Aid Station until she died of a high fever in 2007, while the "cold-blooded" photographer died early.
