Asia's first photographer

On the 7th/Kloc-0 anniversary of the victory of World War II, the veterans of World War II who fought together in China went to the world again.

Many photos of veterans in this large-scale advertisement were taken by one person, that is, Li.

Li, a national senior photographer, has been involved in fashion circles for a long time.

Such people should be dazzling, but Li has embarked on a different path.

Shooting veterans is actually a coincidence. I accidentally saw a veteran's post in Tianya Forum, a veteran of the Anti-Japanese War, a hero in the first half of his life, and a poor man in the second half. This strong contrast struck him in the heart.

Since 20 12, Li has traveled to China, Myanmar, Thailand and other Asian countries to visit China's World War II veterans. Among them, China has traveled all over Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Shanghai, Beijing, Hebei, Shandong, Heilongjiang, Henan, Yunnan, Guizhou, Hunan, Shaanxi, Sichuan, Taiwan Province and Hongkong, and almost all over China. He visited 1000 veterans and recorded a profound story.

What is commendable is that every shooting was done by Li at his own expense. After taking photos, he gave the electronic version to local volunteers, developed it and gave it to veterans. An organization asked him for photos, and he provided them for free as long as they were for public welfare.

Li claimed to be a craftsman, with insufficient business and more public welfare.

Two years ago, out of recognition of values, volunteer Li Jie joined Li's trip to shoot veterans, which helped him realize his wish of "shooting China veterans in spring and comforting heroes in the world".

Today, he and Li Jie, an assistant photographer, came to Xinjiang and began to photograph the anti-Japanese war veterans living in Xinjiang, leaving precious images for the veterans.

The following photos were taken by Li and his assistant photographer Mr. Li Jie. Among them, the photographer's work pictures were taken by volunteers who cared for Xinjiang anti-Japanese war veterans. Please indicate the photographer when quoting.

At present, the shooting is still in progress. ...

More blockbusters will be presented in turn.
