Fifty years of gold leave the memory of the city
Guangzhou is a city with a long history and profound cultural heritage. As the window of this famous historical and cultural city, the Pearl River has an irreplaceable cultural status. A Pearl River, which has nurtured Guangzhou for thousands of years, has witnessed tremendous changes on both sides of the strait.
During his 50 years of running streets in Guangzhou, Teacher Ye Jianqiang used the lens to completely record the social microcosm of the process of reform and opening up and the changes in the world on both sides of the Pearl River. The familiar buildings and scenes in the memory may have gradually disappeared with time, and the high-rise buildings that have been uprooted on the flat ground often surprise people with the rapid changes in life. His works are like the "old fire soup" in Guangzhou, the taste is peaceful and mellow, conveying a humanistic atmosphere and withstanding the precipitation of time.
The Pearl River runs through the city, and the scenery on both sides of the strait is just right. Aoyuan Henderson Xueyuan No. 1 just stands in the first row of the landscape on the front line of the river, only about 80 meters from the river, and basically can take the river shoreline of about 570 meters into the eyes, and enjoy an incomparable river view experience here. Coupled with the elites of universities in the university town and Pazhou, they came to lead the Kochi circle, and the sense of humanistic atmosphere was full.
