Character experience

1972 In Vietnam, 2 1 year-old Huang Yougong pressed the shutter and took a photo called "Girls in War": a Vietnamese girl burned by petrol bombs streaked painfully on the road. This photo is considered as "accelerating the end of the Vietnam War". In the past 40 years, the former war correspondent has become a famous paparazzi reporter. Huang Yougong has photographed Michael Jackson, OJ Simpson, Paris Hilton and other stars in the scandal whirlpool.

Huang Yougong's camera stopped at this moment. This is June 8th, 1972, Zhan Peng County, Vietnam-the most frequent place where North and South Vietnam exchanged fire at that time. This year, the Vietnam War came to an end, and the voice of anti-war in the United States grew louder and louder. The appearance of this photo named "The Girl in the War" gives people the most intuitive understanding of the cruelty of war. 197 1 Daniel Spock, a famous anti-Vietnam activist who disclosed government secret documents to the media during his tenure at the Ministry of National Defense, said to Huang Yougong, "You helped end the Vietnam War!" This photo also took Huang Yougong out of Vietnam and brought him to Hollywood.

Huang Youhong went on working. He is active in the front line of the Associated Press news report. Like an ordinary photojournalist, he is assigned by his superiors every day to track the most popular news events in the United States, from NBA games and American elections to Hurricane New Orleans. In 2007, his photos of paris hilton crying before he went to prison once again caused a sensation in the world.

Personality achievement

This photo won the Pulitzer Prize, the highest prize in American news the following year, and photojournalist Huang Yougong became famous for it.
