A photojournalist in Liu Weiqiang

When I was studying in Harbin Normal University from 65438 to 0988, I met photography by chance and bought a Huaxia 822 camera as simple and honest as myself, which is worth 230 yuan. One is to take pictures of other people's girlfriends to make money and find your own girlfriend. Then I entered the strange circle of photography art and continued to "have a high fever" for more than ten years, and I still don't retreat. Nowadays, photography has become an indispensable part of my life.

For more than ten years, no matter how the type of work changes, no matter how bumpy the situation is, the persistence and love for photography art has never changed. Especially when I became a full-time photojournalist, I witnessed the oil tiger day and night, and also appeared the undercover professional beggar who pretended to beg. I witnessed the "98 flood record" and trudged all the way from Wan Li to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, where I was in the forbidden zone of my life. ...

Today, more than a dozen spring and autumn periods have quietly passed. Looking back at the footprints behind us, there is confusion in exploration, pain in failure, and hardships in the journey ... but more is the joy of harvest, the responsibility and pride of recording history with a camera. In the world of photography, all the storms have turned into rainbows because of love. He won more than 400 international and domestic photography competitions in ten years. More than 5,000 works have been published in newspapers and periodicals at or above the municipal level, and more than 300,000 words have been reported in writing. Among them, "Witness the Sandstorm" won the gold medal in the 20th China Photography Art Exhibition, the sixth DuPont Cup National Good News Special Prize and the first prize in the Global Chinese Photography Competition. He has visited Europe, Japan, Singapore, Thailand, Russian Federation, China, Hongkong, Taiwan Province Province of China and other places to present awards.
