Introduction to the story of v works

Excluding V, more than 65,438,000 people entered Zhao's lens in the four years before and after. In addition to the ladies sitting on the stage, there are fishermen, farmers, out-of-school children, vagrants, foreign scavengers and hunchback ferrymen on the edge of the city ... Like Zhao, they are all trapped at the bottom of the pyramid-like social structure. In cities, they are absolutely vulnerable groups. No one has ever paid so close attention to their lives, and it has lasted for many years.

In March, 1999, Focus on Survival-A Girl Wandering on the Edge of the City was published. In this book, Zhao compiled the survival stories of more than a dozen people, most of whom were sitting ladies. Since then, he has been dubbed by the media as a "photographer specializing in shooting young ladies".

"The Story of A V" became an important chapter in the book, and the photo of A V hugging her boyfriend from behind was enlarged into a cover photo.

In the photo, A V's eyes are not afraid of the vulnerable groups in the camera, and he is somewhat confused and helpless about the tone in the book.

But V is not famous, and no one has written her story into a script or put it on the screen.
