Pictures of thin children

I believe many people should have seen or know this photo! This photo won the Pulitzer Prize for Photography, featuring stories 65438 to 0994-"Hungry Little Girl", which was shot by journalist kevin carter.

Its composition is very calm. At sunset, a scrawny little African girl was crawling on the ground, and there was a vulture not far behind her. There is no tension, no fear, no loud call sign, but the calm seems to contain unparalleled shock, which hits the viewer's heart at once and shows us the despair of the whole African continent with only one photo.

However, as the hungry little girl spread all over the world, the public paid more attention to the fate of the little girl while sympathizing with the African people. People have questioned why kevin carter, who was at the scene at that time, didn't save the little girl! Even Kevin Carter's friends accused him of putting down his camera to help the little girl.

Unable to stand the public opinion from outside and his inner moral confusion, the increasing mental pressure made kevin carter go on the road of no return only a few months after winning the grand prize. Next to his body, people found a note: "I am really, really sorry for everyone. The pain of life far exceeds the joy. "
