Xiao Quan's resume.

Xiao Quan is called "the best portrait photographer in China". Xiao Quan's popularity inside and outside the photography circle depends on the large-scale photography collection of our generation. This album published by 1996 almost includes all kinds of famous figures in the literary and art circles in 1980 and 1990, including Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Jiang Wen, He Xuntian, Tan Dun, Kitajima, Wang Anyi and Shi Tiesheng. It took Xiaoquan nearly 65,438+00 years to complete this album. Therefore, Xiao Quan has the reputation of "the best photographer in China".

Our Generation, filmed by Xiao Quan for more than ten years, is an image file of famous cultural and artistic figures born in the 1950s and 1960s in China. Over the years, he visited artists and writers scattered all over China, and compiled a long list selected by his own standards in his notebook. With the progress of time and work, this list is constantly changing and enriching. Xiao Quan, with care for the fate of his contemporaries, sympathy and love for himself, walked through the life of this generation gently like a ray of warm sunshine, and projected a warm statue for each interviewee with his camera in his hand. His precise grasp of characters' personalities and extensive and close contact with this generation also make his photo collection transcend the level of personal behavior and become a video project with social significance. Xiao Quan, with his warmth and persistence, witnessed the survival of this generation, reflecting their bitterness and joy, hesitation and persistence, and most importantly, their eternal concern for life.
