Regarding Ruan and his famous photos, Adams once wrote in The Times: The general shot the prisoner, and I killed the general with my camera. It can be seen that photographic pictures are still one of the most lethal weapons in the world. People believe in pictures, but in fact pictures often lie. Even images that have not been tampered with can often only tell half the truth. What this photo doesn't say is: What would you do if you, as a general, caught a so-called notorious bad guy who might have killed two or three Americans in such a war-torn era? Later, Adams apologized to the general and his family in his own name, and apologized for the irreparable damage he caused to his reputation. After the death of General Ruan, Adams praised him as a "hero" of a "just cause".
