Lao Yang and his movies.

Lao Yang likes to call his photos movies. Lao Yang remembers the story behind every movie and likes to tell people the story behind every movie.

"You see this movie" Capitalized Cow ",a middle-aged couple is ploughing the field in spring. If you are in front of you, you will see that man sweating profusely and the blue veins on his neck are stretched high. The scene of this kind of person pulling a plow is hard to see now, so I quickly photographed it. The old man has seen or used this kind of farm tool before, but now he will feel kind when he sees it. Now that living conditions are good, mechanization has become the mainstream, and even young people who grew up in rural areas are hard to see. "

He took out another one and said, "Watch the movie" Going Home from School "again. The little girl is a teenager. After school, she must carry a bundle of firewood home. I filmed it and now I want to cry. We are rich, but the people in the mountains are still very poor! "

Lao Yang's name is Yang Yule. I am 57 years old and work in Fengquan District Government of Xinxiang City. Judging from his appearance, Lao Yang has a big face, a small beard, heavy eyebrows and eyes, a height of 1 m 78, a big waist and a round waist, which is somewhat formidable. After listening to the story behind the movie, I realized that his heart was full of feelings and love for the countryside, and I couldn't help but respect him. Lao Yang was born and raised in the countryside, and his special work closely linked him to the countryside. He loves rural life very much and has strong feelings for rural farmers. He is nostalgic. When he sees the past, he will think of his childhood life. He always likes to compare cities with rural areas and 30 years before and after the reform and opening up. He said: "The more I look at those old furniture, old farm tools, old houses and old yards, the more I want to see them. If we don't shoot them now, the society will develop so fast that it will disappear from sight in a year or two and will never be filmed again! "

Lao Yang took a back seat four years ago. He fell in love with folk photography. He believes that a person can do work when he is in office, and he can still do a lot of work responsibly when he is not in office. People get old when they get old. You can't be idle if you want to be healthy and enjoy your old age. Yang Yule stipulated to himself that he should not only do more activities, but also be diligent in thinking and make some contributions to society. He is determined to stop, walk in nature, walk in the countryside, visit the local folk customs, and show what he has experienced in the past and will lose in the form of photos, turning it into an eternal memory.

So he picked up the camera, met some old friends, and often pressed the shutter on the land of Fiona Fang 100 km to capture rare shots. In the past three years, Lao Yang has taken more than 40,000 photos and saved several boxes of CDs. Not to mention the cost of going out, he spent 20 thousand to 30 thousand on photographic equipment alone. When he went to a place, he didn't go to a big scenic spot like a tourist, but purposefully learned about the local folk customs, recorded the past, and reflected the changes of reform and opening up for more than 30 years through photos.

Now he is a photojournalist in China, a member of Henan Senior Photographers Association, and a member of Xinxiang Senior Photographers Association. Yang Yule doesn't pay much attention to publishing his works in newspapers and periodicals. He mainly collects materials and accumulates information for publishing folk photography works. He published his works on the website of Chetan Film Association under the screen name of "Geng" and published his works on the beautiful life forum of Xinxiang Plain under the screen name of "Happy" to learn from each other. Wherever he goes, even if he is filming scenery films, he will take several old people with him, reflecting the spirit of the hero's struggle with nature.

He took part in the photo contest for the elderly, was a finalist in the province and won many awards in the city. Lao Yang doesn't talk much, but he often talks about things in the mountains. Some places in the mountainous area are still poor. Donkeys pull stone mills, cook in pots, and weave straw covers. Life is hard. The school is far from home, and the children live for 90 yuan a month. The government undertakes 40 yuan, and some families can't afford to go out of 50 yuan. The film "The Village Chief's Property" consists of two smoking houses and "The Village Chief's Hand", which is as rough as dead branches, full of wrinkles and calluses. I can think of ordinary villagers. When Lao Yang saw this scene, he often shed tears unconsciously, took photos emotionally and posted them on the Internet, calling on the society to lend a helping hand.

His next job is to collect some past production and living materials, not for collection, but to touch people's hearts through these objects, so that people can witness their past lives with their own eyes, understand a truth while enjoying modern happiness, and be content, cherish and grateful!
