From November 30th to December 5th, The Zhiku Space of Yangcheng Creative Park held an unusual photography exhibition - the "Party Flag Fluttering in My Heart, Party Member" Portrait Photography Exhibition of Que Daohua sponsored by Yangcheng Evening News Newspaper Group.
It is said that it is not ordinary because the original intention of the photography exhibition originated from the theme MV "The Party Flag Flutters in My Heart" launched by Yangcheng Evening News Group on July 1 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Party. Que Daohua, a veteran photojournalist at Yangcheng Evening News, had an idea at that time: to take portraits of 100 outstanding party members.
In an era when video products became mainstream, static shooting seemed less fashionable. Que Daohua, a former photojournalist and self-proclaimed "the best cook among Guangzhou's media people," once said half-jokingly and half-seriously: Photographers always have to ask themselves what they are pressing the shutter for.
The thick and crisp shutter sound, frozen down is not only a smiley face, a look, a self-confidence, the information conveyed is beyond the picture, a story, a history, a memory.
Therefore, Que Daohua traveled to Guangzhou, Dongguan, Foshan, Qingyuan, Zhanjiang, Yunfu, Heyuan, Shaoguan, Yangjiang, Zhongshan and other places to shoot and select 36 groups of portraits in this exhibition.
Therefore, we can appreciate this group of new era party members with stories and grounding in the ground.
Liu Weijun, who participated in the Wenchuan earthquake relief in 2008 and the Yushu earthquake relief in 2010, is the captain of the fire rescue detachment;
On March 28, 2021, Zhou Yonghui, who rescued an old lady who jumped into the river and gave birth to a young lady in the Huadi River of the Pearl River, was the administrative sponsor of the company;
Peng Kai, who has been rated as an outstanding party worker of the Ministry of Public Security, has been awarded the third class merit of the individual three times, and the secretary of the party committee of the fire rescue brigade;
Wang Yanni, the lyricist of the theme song "The Party Flag Flutters in My Heart", is a nurse at Dongguan People's Hospital;
Liu Zuoyu, who copied about 20,000 words of the Constitution of the Communist Party of China with a brush at the age of 91 in 2018, is a retired teacher.
These party members and protagonists, from the police, media people, musicians, doctors, nurses, teachers and other professions, their deeds, real and touching, if you hide your identity, they are like ordinary members of the neighborhood, like you and me close partners and friends.
Such a party member is a party member in the new era, and such a portrait exhibition of party members is an exhibition of the spiritual outlook of party members in the new era.
Party members flying the party flag are witnesses to history and pioneers of history.
Que Daohua said that "recording a piece of history with photographs" is the famous quote of August Sander, the "greatest photographer of the twentieth century", in the book "The Man of the Twentieth Century", which can also be regarded as the best interpretation of the purpose of this photography exhibition.
In addition, at the opening ceremony on November 30, young singer Wang Xuanxuan was also invited to sing "The Party Flag Flutters in My Heart" and "Dear China", and the well-known musician Tian Zhilin performed a flute solo performance.
A number of subjects also came to the scene of the opening ceremony, including young soprano singer Ren Wenwen, young composer Xiong Liang, Guangdong Radio and Television Jiajia Cartoon Channel producer Wang Zizhao (octopus brother), Tianhe District Qianjin Street veterans service station chief Tang Jianrong, Wang Yanni, Zhou Yonghui, etc., they made a special "group photo" in front of their portraits.
