But what kind of culture can support the spirit of a world power? China Folk Photography Association brings together a wide range of outstanding social forces who take photography as a means to record, rescue and protect China's heritage, actively and individually participate in the comprehensive inheritance of China's cultural spirit, and promote people's self-confidence, self-esteem and pride in local culture with their own actions.

"Action to rescue and record China's heritage" needs a mighty army of folk photographers.
