Guti China Photography Award Lifetime Achievement Award Speech

May 20 12, Guti won the lifetime achievement award of China Photography Award. The award speech is: Guti has been trying to sort out the history of China's battlefield photography. In 2009, he published a two-volume Record of China's Red Photography, which left a rigorous and detailed photographic history of China's revolutionary war years for China's photography with a large number of complete and solid documents, making it an unprecedented masterpiece. This also changed him from a protector of photographic historical materials to a historian. He completely preserved tens of thousands of negatives and related documents of revolutionary photography during the war years. He is a well-deserved "patron and recorder of photographic historical archives".
