This morning, the beautiful poet Chen Yuhua and I recorded a video for Mr. Chen in Nanyou Small Park. Mr. Chen is a celebrity in Shenzhen and an old friend of mine for many years. Because Mr. Wang is busy writing poems, although he has long heard of the famous Mr. Chen, he has never had direct contact with him. Today, when I saw the energetic photographer, I felt very congenial when I spoke. He didn't see me at home until very late, and he received a souvenir book from him. He was filled with joy and took many photos. Speaking of little sister, Mr. Chen told Yuhua that he saw little sister grow old from a flying butterfly in the sky, but he was a little sorry that he didn't dance together. Yuhua said, it doesn't matter, he can still dance now. When Teacher Wang Xiong comes back, we will dance together when we are free.

Photographer Chen is from Boao, Hainan. 1980 to Shenzhen. Before his retirement, he was the former trade union chairman of Shenzhen Nanyou Group, a senior political engineer and a founding member of Shenzhen Art Photography Society. He participated in the construction of Shenzhen in the reform and opening up and witnessed the whole process of Shenzhen's development from a border town to an internationally renowned modern city. Over the past 40 years, I have been obsessed with recording the development achievements of Shenzhen's reform and opening up, traveling around Shenzhen with my camera, and freezing the beautiful panorama of Shenzhen's changes in a 360-degree panoramic way, leaving precious picture files as the memory of Shenzhen. Teacher Chen, who retired in 2005, is 75 years old and is still recording Shenzhen with a camera.

? When he was young, Chen was good at singing and dancing and loved photography. After work, he organizes employees to carry out a variety of cultural and sports activities, and all cultural and sports activities of the unit and the community are recorded in his lens. In the past 40 years, I have traveled all over Pengcheng, from Nanshan to Futian, from Xili to Wu Tong, over mountains and mountains, wading into high-rise buildings in the city, and recording the development and changes since the establishment of Shenzhen Special Economic Zone with a camera. 20 10 held "30th Anniversary of Special Economic Zones: Vicissitudes and Great Changes-Chen's Photography Exhibition", which toured Shenzhen Museum and Shenzhen Library for one and a half years, with more than 500,000 visitors. His representative works, such as Great Changes in Nanshan, Comparison of Futian Central District, Great Changes in Luohu and Shekou Industrial Zone, show the development and changes of Shenzhen intuitively.

To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the establishment of Shenzhen Special Economic Zone, Chen donated his photos to Shenzhen Archives. At the same time, Mr. Chen and the art teacher sketched their own panoramic photos of Shenzhen into more than ten long scrolls, each of which was more than 10 meter. The ten volumes of Shenzhen are: Dapeng Mountain and Sea Map, Meshajian Aerial View, Pengcheng Landscape Map, Splendid Pengcheng Map, Pengcheng Grand View Map, Shenzhen City Landscape Map (Nanshan Chapter), Tidal Pearl River Mouth Map, Shenzhen Bay Area Map, Yang Tai Scenic Area Map and Baocheng 20 10.

? "Spring Tides Rise in the Pearl River" is a cooperative work between Mr. Chen and Mr. Chen. * * * has drawn thirteen long volumes and ten volumes in Shenzhen, and is applying for the world record. Two volumes in Hainan and one volume in Xinjiang. Lhasa and Shenzhen Shanshui City are being painted.

? On June 2, 2020, the 30th Anniversary Photo Exhibition of Nanshan District in Shenzhen was held in Nanshan Museum. The 30th Anniversary Photo Exhibition in Nanshan District, Shenzhen * * * is divided into five chapters, namely "Exploring the Road 1979- 1995", "Renovating1996-201"and "Leading 20/KLOC". There are also several groups of photos of teacher Chen and him.

In June, 2020, "Celebrating the 40th Anniversary of Shenzhen Special Economic Zone: Image Time and Space-Exhibition of Chen's Works" was exhibited in Shenzhen Art Museum. This exhibition is the 4th Shenzhen International Photography Parallel Exhibition, and it is also another important Shenzhen image research and exhibition of Shenzhen Art Museum. There are 200 works on display in this exhibition.

From 20 18, Mr. Chen was interviewed by the central media, provincial media and major media in Shenzhen, and Guangzhou Daily reporter also interviewed him.

Professor Pan said: Photographers recorded the development history of Shenzhen with lenses, measured Pengcheng's beautiful homeland with thoughts and wisdom, and left extremely valuable cultural products and spiritual wealth to the country, society and people. Pay tribute to photographer Chen.

Thank Mr. Chen for sending me his video materials. Upload today's pictures and videos and send them to articles together. I hope Shenzhen will develop better and better! I also hope that more young people and old people will record the changes in Shenzhen in various ways, leaving more historical records for future generations.
