Man Chen Young Pioneers, what's the matter?

Let's talk about who Man Chen is first. Perhaps the majority of netizens in non-fashion circles don't know where this is sacred.

Man Chen, born in Beijing, 1980, a fashion photographer and visual artist in China, graduated from the Central Academy of Fine Arts. In 2003, Man Chen began to shoot the cover of Youth Vision magazine; Later, with a series of works of Youth Vision, he made his mark in the fashion circle.

Since then, it has become out of reach. I reviewed her works from 2003 to 2020. We can tell her history with countless awards and shining stars. For example, in September of 20 15, Man Chen's works "Four Heavenly Kings: Spring" and "long live the motherland" were permanently collected by the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco. 20 17, Chen Man was selected as the "global youth leader" list; In the same year, she was awarded the title of China Tobacco Control Advocate by the World Health Organization. Let's take a look at the list of artists she has worked with in the film and television industry, such as Jane Zhang, TFboys, Shu Qi, Hugh, and so on. She is now an iconic figure in China's photography industry. The media said that the actors who asked her to take fashion photos, including short films and TV series, have reached the point where they can't wait to queue up with money.

These ten years are undoubtedly fame and fortune for her, but it may be because she is too smooth and makes people feel a little high, and she overturned in a cooperation with fashion brand Dior on 202 1. In an exhibition of Dior in Shanghai, Man Chen, as a photographer, took photos of Asian portraits, but the Asian women in the photos had dark and rough skin, narrow eyes, flat nose, dark and thick fingers, and their hair seemed to be unwashed for a week, which made them look full of yin. You know, this is an internationally recognized image that discriminates against Asians. As a big fashion coffee, she can't be unaware of this. Therefore, everyone has a lot of doubts about her. She thinks that the works she shot in order to open up her own market in Europe and America and specially cater to the value standards of Europeans and Americans are ultimately for the bottom line of money.

At the same time, many netizens also dug up some of her early photos that looked very strange, including this one she shot in 2008, The Young Pioneers. The so-called Young Pioneers in the photo are barefoot and combined with the Three Gorges Dam, while the "Young Pioneers" are miniskirts, and the whole skirt is obviously blown by the wind. The upper body is almost completely transparent, and some sensitive parts are faintly visible. The appearance is the appearance of various pranks. This made netizens not only exclaim, "What is this young pioneer? This is the "goblin among goblins" from there.

On the sixth day after being bombarded by the media, Man Chen publicly apologized at his Weibo, stating: "The shooting techniques of his early works are immature and there is something wrong with his understanding. I sincerely apologize to everyone. " But the majority of netizens do not buy it. Can a person really ignore the moral and cognitive bottom line of a country and a nation for money? In Man Chen's own words, "it's just a meal". But when someone brings us food, shouldn't we look at it ourselves first? Is this meal really so delicious? Will you break your bowl for a few full meals?
