China photos of documentary photography

Xu Yonghui, a photographer of Zhejiang Daily, is the most successful documentary photography in China. 1950 in the spring of new liberation, he took the first family photo for the poor peasant Ye Gentu. In the following 45 years, Xu Yonghui photographed Yegentu's family more than 30 times, recording the changes of his family in the past 45 years. The changes of Yegen Tujia nationality represent the changes of farmers in China. This change is a living history, and it is also a microcosm of the way for hundreds of millions of farmers in China to get rich. Very meaningful, unforgettable and rare.

Xu Yonghui's documentary photos have been published in many newspapers and periodicals all over the country for many times. Ye Gentu's daughter got married, and her father gave her the photos taken by Xu Yonghui for her family as a family heirloom as a dowry, warning her not to forget the past. 1994 During the Spring Festival Evening, CCTV invited Xu Yonghui to meet hundreds of millions of viewers and introduce the situation with his "family photo" for Ye Gentu. It is rare for a group photo to be taken care of like this. This "family portrait" photo was also exhibited by the Museum of Chinese Revolution.
