Photo Story: When I went to Tokyo for the first time this year, I observed that Japanese people are very homogeneous in dressing, the subway and streets are unusually quiet, and people are polite and restrained, but walking into Ginza, Tokyo, a disco bar that opened in the 70s during the Showa period, shows a completely different and dynamic Japan. A group of middle-aged and elderly uncles and aunts, surrounded by disco music, both the performers and the audience are mainly middle-aged and elderly groups, accompanied by the melody of retro disco, silver-haired grandfathers writhing and dancing happily in the crowd, they grew up in the era of Japan's rapid economic rise in the 70s of the 20th century, and still maintain the positive and enthusiastic atmosphere of that generation.

Photographer Beep, image editor of Pacific Science and Technology Network
Picture story: The picture was taken in the internal parking lot of the temple near the Grand Palace of Thailand, which is the last morning of the terminal in Thailand, because of the restrictions of Thailand's transportation infrastructure, in order to better shoot the node, I can only go out early, and receive the consecration and blessing in the sound of the monks' "morning class". Starting from Mohan, Yunnan, driving a domestic car across Laos to Bangkok is really a wonderful trip, at the time of the hot news of electric fraud, before the trip has been started, it has been ridiculed by many friends, to be "sold". Driving abroad by car is really something I never dared to imagine before, and I also learned for the first time that the configuration of domestic cars at the same price is "far ahead".

Photo Story: This is a photo taken this spring, on the way to the library with my girlfriend, I suddenly saw this leaf that I used to play with as a child, so I picked one and said, "Magic trick for you", and then took this photo with my camera. I didn't expect that the small games I often played with my friends on the way out of elementary school were still playing when I went to college many years later, but unfortunately most of those friends are no longer in touch, but these precious childhood memories, maybe I will smile when I look back when I get old.

Photo story: On October 4, at the Hangzhou Olympic Sports Center Stadium, on the penultimate day of the Asian Games athletics event, a special award ceremony for Olympic medals was held after all the competitions and athletes' medal ceremonies of the night. Su Bingtian, Xie Zhenye, Wu Zhiqiang and Tang Xingqiang, members of the Chinese track and field men's 4×100m relay team at the Tokyo Olympics, and race walkers from the London Olympics, Qieyang Shijie, Liu Hong and Lu Xiuzhi, appeared before and after to receive their medals. The awards were held in the evening, and the photojournalists agreed that it was an important moment, and someone went to occupy the place in the afternoon, which was the lower part of the frame. I went late, and I didn't want to be the same as everyone else, so I went to the second floor. There are some disadvantages on the second floor, and the picture can be photographed on the billboard, which will not look very "clean". But I still feel that these athletes who have been awarded medals should have the feeling of "standing in the center of the stage", so I still stayed and wanted to shoot a bigger scene. I didn't expect that before the awards, all the advertisements were removed, thinking about the Olympic awards, and I also took a peculiar picture of athletes standing on the podium of the third place, which is quite cool.

Picture story: By chance, more than ten years later, in Langfang Majiao Music Beat, I met Su Jianxin, a singer I liked in the second year of secondary school, and that moment was happy.
