The author's comments on The Red News Warrior

From 65438 to 0963, Li Zhensheng worked as a photojournalist in Heilongjiang Daily. At that time, he was less than 23 years old. He just graduated from the Film Academy. He is ambitious and full of blood. He participated in the rural socialist education movement, the prelude of the Cultural Revolution. Therefore, his career as a professional photojournalist began in the embryonic stage of the Cultural Revolution. Coupled with his high sensitivity to news and strict professional training, he has achieved great success in his career. His tutor, Wu Yinxian, once told him that photographers are not only witnesses of history, but also recorders of history. All this seems to determine to some extent that Li Zhensheng will become the recorder of the Cultural Revolution.

Li Zhensheng, a "red reporter": He witnessed the ten-year catastrophe of the Cultural Revolution with photos, and Li Zhensheng took100000 historical witness photos. Thirty years later, when these photos were presented to the world, he said, "I always believe that success in life can only be achieved through personal struggle." If I have achieved anything in my life, it is that I have left thousands of historical fragments for the world. As far as history is concerned, only by combining the daily life memories of ordinary people with the grand historical records of major historical events and important people can a vivid and complete national history be synthesized. A nation that dares to face up to its own history is a great nation.
