What do you think of Luoyang post-80s photographers taking photos for the elderly in mountainous areas for free?

Han, a photographer born in Luoyang in the 1980s, walked along the Yi River on both sides of the river to record the local customs. He met villages in the depths of nearly 100 mountains on both sides of the Yi River. Wherever he goes, he always likes to chat with the local old people and record their lives. Then he leaves, takes out his camera to take pictures of the old people, and then prints them out with a portable printer, puts them in a photo frame and gives them to the old people for free. Han said that many old people in the mountains never take pictures. Some old people even took his photos as portraits and went to more than 800 villages in yi river, leaving photos of their lives. Han sent photos to the old man this year. Han is 39 years old and lives in Songxian County, Luoyang. He is a self-media creator of agriculture, countryside and farmers. He started his search from the source of yi river and planned to visit more than 800 villages on both sides of yi river in five years. Now the countryside is changing too fast, and some villages.

Han said that he wanted to take the customs on both sides of the Yi River into the camera and leave the memory of the old village. After visiting many remote villages, Han found that although children often take photos of the elderly with their mobile phones, these photos are only displayed on the screen. Old people don't need smart phones at home, and they can't stand it. In some mountainous villages, some old people don't even take pictures all their lives, let alone their own. For me, taking pictures of them is just a trivial matter. The cost is not high, and I can afford it. But for these rural elderly, it may be a lifelong wish. When talking about the original intention of taking pictures of the elderly, Han said this. There is a story behind every photo, and many of them have become portraits of old people. Han cut firewood under the camera, Han went out to create, and then went to Tuluanpa Village in Luanchuan County to ask the old man for directions. The old man was in rags, carrying heavy firewood, but enthusiastically guided him forward. In order to express my gratitude, Han offered to take pictures of the old man before leaving.

Although the old man said no, he still put the wood on the ground with one hand and stood up straight. When Han printed the photo and handed it to the old man, the old man rubbed the photo over and over again with rough hands, showing a simple and honest smile on his face. At this time, an uncle in the same village passed by and asked Han timidly, my old mother is over 90 years old this year and has never taken a photo in her life. Can you help me? On the way home with his uncle, Han learned that his uncle's mother was seriously ill and had difficulty walking. He didn't go out all winter. I want to keep a portrait of my mother. The old man heard that she was going to take pictures of her, so he quickly asked his son to help her sit in the yard. I printed out the photos and gave them to the old man. The old man was very excited. He held the photo in trembling hands and said that even if I died now, the children would.

So far, Han has visited nearly 65,438+000 villages and sent more than 200 photos for the elderly. The old lady bent down, the old grandfather was working in the field, and the old lady was holding the lens of her grandson Han, which was filled with the smell of earth in an instant. There is a story behind every photo, which warms me up and keeps me meeting old friends. This work caused millions of netizens to praise the old man Han, who smiled and took pictures. The most striking characteristics of farmers in western Henan are diligence, kindness, enthusiasm and gratitude. By taking pictures of the elderly, Han opened an account on the short video platform of vibrato. The net name is Lu Yi Green Star, and its simple dialect dialogue, touching stories and down-to-earth work have won the favor of millions of netizens. Some fans said that he was doing charity, while others said that Lao Han was an online celebrity, but Han disagreed. If the photos are left in the camera and only you like them, you can print them out as souvenirs for the elderly. Photos have the meaning of existence. I am also satisfied to see the old man smiling after taking photos. Everyone is very happy. Isn't that enough? Korea said to:
