Preface
2012-2022 is an extraordinary decade for Chinese people to forge ahead in a new journey and a new era of meritorious achievements.
Ten years of hard work, ten years of dedication. Over the past decade, in the process of national development, 1.4 billion Chinese people have been worthy protagonists of the times. Jiangshan is the people, the people are the rivers and mountains, and the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core has always adhered to the people-centered approach. The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China emphasized: adhere to the people-centered creative orientation, launch more excellent works that enhance the people's spiritual strength, and cultivate a large number of literary artists with both virtue and art and a large-scale cultural and artistic talent team.
Over the past decade, Henan photographers have photographed fresh faces, who have engaged in different professions and stuck to different positions. But everyone's dream chasing posture has been frozen in the times and engraved in the pace of urban leaping! Under the lens of Henan photographers, the people's sense of gain, happiness and security is constantly increasing. We have found that the progress of the times is not limited by one
An important meeting, a great project promotion, through the image, focusing on people's livelihood, education, medical care, rural revitalization and many other fields, the greatness of time is more reflected in the human fireworks of ordinary families, the extraordinary efforts of ordinary roles, the persistence and innovation of intergenerational inheritance, and the dedication of enthusiastic years... It is reflected in the people's demeanor that constantly bursts out in the fiery struggle. If you compare an image to a wave, then through countless waves, you will be able to feel the magnificence of the mighty journey; If you turn a story into a shimmer, then through the light and shadow, you will be able to be shocked by the magnificent people.
The demeanor of the people is not only the most vivid record of this era, but also the warmth and emotion of every Chinese in heart, in words and in practice.
With this exhibition, we will engrave the moment of history!
With this exhibition, I would like to pay tribute to the demeanor of the people!
Here, we sincerely invite you to walk into the real image stories of different people, from those brave and wise struggles, review the beauty of the past ten years of change, the great development, and continue to draw strength and chase the light.
