Uncle has collected nearly 5,000 family photos from the late Qing Dynasty to modern times. Why did he do it?

Uncle Xue Yong of Xi 'an has a unique hobby, that is, he likes to collect family photos. At present, he has collected more than 5,000 family photos, kept them completely in boxes and marked the time.

It is understood that uncle has been collecting family photos for a long time. He collected family photos because he was a photographer at first, so he was very interested in photos, including video recordings, so he began to collect photos slowly. Later, more and more photos were collected, so uncle paid more attention to collecting family photos and keeping them in different categories.

Uncle's collection of family photos, from the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China to modern times, has everything, including photos taken recently. From these family photos, we can clearly see the changes in people's clothing, living habits, customs and living standards from ancient times to the present. For example, the number of family photos in Qing dynasty is actually relatively small, because only wealthy families can afford to take family photos. In the Republic of China, family photos became relatively common. In modern times, not only the photos have changed from black and white to color, but also the smiles on people's faces are obviously enriched, and the whole family portrait looks very harmonious and beautiful.

From these family photos, we can also clearly see the changes of the whole era, including the increasing improvement and changes of our living standards, including the impact of the development of the whole era on people's daily lives.

According to Master Xue, he introduced us to collect family photos. At first, it was just because of interest, but now it has become a habit, and he also hopes to continue to collect family photos. Master Xue said that he likes to collect old photos of his family, not only because he likes photography, but also because it is meaningful. China people attach importance to family relations and cherish the moment of reunion, which has been passed down to this day. At the same time, family photos also record the historical changes in China, indicating that our life is getting better and better.

Master Xue also expressed his hope to continue to collect family photos and give them to everyone as an album as a gift to the motherland. It can not only be used as a symbol of inheriting family style, but also embodies the multiple meanings of cherishing time, working hard and filial piety. I also hope that everyone can take a family photo as a habit, take a family photo with their parents and relatives every year, and then look back one by one later, there will be unexpected surprises and feelings. I hope every family is satisfied with America.
