If you know wildlife
Then you will not be unfamiliar with these photos
These beautiful pictures are from
A legendary "special human"
Aoyama in Africa (real name Chen Jianxing)
Lions, cheetahs, rhinos, wildebeests...
These ferocious wild animals
Under his lens
Cute and full of spirit
He also recorded many shocking images with his lens
About the steppes, about the river valleys
About lions, about cheetahs
About Tanzania...
He is the green mountain of Africa, with a camera and wildlife for more than a decade, known as the longest Chinese photographer stationed in Africa. China Daily published a feature story about him, calling him "China's Lion King."
In 2006, he was sent to the Chinese Embassy in Tanzania
In 2009, he resigned from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and joined the Tanzania National Park Authority
In 2012, he was appointed Chief Representative of Tanzania National Park in China
In 2013, he served as a live commentator on the live broadcast program "The Great Migration of Wild Animals in East Africa"
In 2014, he published the first comprehensive and in-depth travel book of Tanzanian tourist attractions in China, "To Tanzania"
In 2018, he participated in the speech of "Strange Flower Conference 2"
In 2019, he published tanzania's 13-year work and life essay "The Trail of the Lion"
"I photograph animals in Tanzania"
Photographing animals in Tanzania is not a matter of wind and snow
It takes a long time of loneliness to endure
and extremely poor living conditions
There will also be some thrilling moments of life and death
They are all mentioned by Aoyama in "The Trail of the Lion"
The living conditions in Tanzania were harsh though
But Aoyama found
There his desires were at their lowest
Like a plant
I've never had the ease of doing
"14 years with wildlife"
14 years in Tanzania
Aoyama and the strange cheetah build mutual trust
Bandage wounds for wildlife
Shed tears for the dead lioness
Grief for the mournful mother elephant...
14 years in Tanzania
Aoyama had never encountered a threat from animals
No need to speculate for no reason, beware everywhere
Aoyama Taijutsu
This materialistic society warns us
Man is not the primate of all things
Humans and animals can coexist in harmony
"I'm in Tanzan, not just animals"
From the quest for a perfect photo
Become a biography of familiar animals with photos, videos, and texts
Aoyama from photographing animals
Become involved in animal rescue
Get more people to pay attention to them
Join the ranks of wildlife conservation
He immersed and absorbed the power of Africa
He was fascinated and studied the spirit of every animal
Learn to enjoy loneliness, learn to forgive betrayal
His explorations will not stop
Will unlock more secrets from the African savannah -
"Wildlife is not what people think"
, duration 00:48
Many people know Aoyama in "Strange Flower Conference 2"
The story he shared moved the audience
Through these true stories that take place in the African savannah
Aoyama hopes that humans can learn more about and protect wild animals
When asked
"After shooting in Africa for so many years, have you ever encountered danger"
Aoyama said there are only two kinds of dangers encountered
One is bad weather such as heavy rain
The other comes from poachers, the humans themselves
"Wild animals are human friends, not human enemies
I've been dealing with wildlife for years
Never encountered a threat from animals
I don't need to speculate for no reason, I'm wary everywhere
The animals are consistent, gentle and kind
In contrast, talent is the most difficult to grasp."
- "The Trail of the Lion"
"Your wild eyes become gentle when they look at me."
Most of the time in Tanzania
The green mountains are spent with wild animals
He used the camera to record the shocking animal migration
Give a name to a large rhinoceros
Track the breeding and reproduction of the super lion colony
Even build trust with a beautiful cheetah Sheila
"Sometimes, I sit in the car reading a book and drinking coffee
Sheila crouched in the shadow of the car to cool off
The sky is wide and the breeze is blowing
The wide grasslands are as golden as wheat fields
Sheila lay down in the grass
Make a kitten-like purring sound
Stretching out the slender body"
Even Sheila gave birth to four children
From birth, he also treated Aoyama as a relative
"True happiness comes from the abundance of the heart"
From Diplomat in Tanzania to "China's Lion King"
Aoyama has been following lions and cheetahs on the grasslands for a decade
Early out and late home, exposed to dust, running and tired
Hard work goes without saying
But he still enjoyed it
Why give up high-paying, high-status jobs?
Aoyama said frankly
Happiness has little to do with how much money there is
People can't live just for money
True happiness comes from the abundance of the heart
Nowadays, there are not many people who can make a hobby a profession
A person who makes the love of animals a lifelong profession
Even more so
Aoyama will have 14 years of grassland life experience
Condensed into two books, "To Tanzane" and "The Trail of the Lion"
Write a real stroke for the animals he loves and the people he cares about
If "To Tanzania" is a panoramic ecological group portrait of Tanzania
Then "The Trail of the Lion" is a documentary that shows the highest level of harmony between humans and animals
Watch "To Tanzanite"
You will follow in the footsteps of the green mountains of Africa
Take the most scientific and unique route to tanzania
Watch "The Trail of the Lion"
You will see it in the book
The story of lions, cheetahs, leopards, elephants, spotted hyenas
and the author's 13 years in Tanzania either good or hard experience
Two books to immerse you in Simba's hometown!
