Today, I took my camera and Xiaomian to shuttle through the oriental charm of Shenzhen Garden Expo Park. The green trees and flowers by the east gate have become the best background for our cheongsam photos. Xiaomian, a girl with a unique emotion for traditional culture, looks so harmonious in front of every brick and tile in the Garden Expo Park.

Walking through the park, it is as if we have stepped into a time and space tunnel, connecting the past and the present. The cheongsam, a garment full of charm, shows its extraordinary charm under the lens. I pressed the shutter and captured every moment of Xiaomian's turning, smiling, and contemplation, which seemed to tell one old and beautiful story after another.

This shoot is not just a simple photography activity, but also a spiritual journey. In the fast-paced city of Shenzhen, we have a dialogue with history and culture in this way. I try to use the language of the lens to express my understanding and respect for traditional beauty.

Humorously, Xiaomian and I may have become a unique sight in the Garden Expo Park – one is a model in various poses, and the other is a photographer who is engrossed in capturing light and shadow. Some of the tourists passing by are smiling, some are curious, but more are moved by our pursuit of beauty.

In this process, I deeply feel that both the cheongsam and the Garden Expo Park are treasures of our national culture. They don't just need to be protected, they need to be understood and appreciated by more people. As a photography enthusiast, it is my responsibility to use my professional skills to make these beauties shine in the modern world.

This shooting experience made me realize that every corner has a story and every moment is worth recording. Shenzhen, a modern metropolis, can also be a place for us to pursue the charm of traditional culture. In every corner of the Garden Expo Park, Xiaomian and I have woven a flowing picture together, so that tradition and modernity are perfectly integrated, which is a visual and emotional feast, as well as a profound practice and exploration of [professional skills].
