As long as the footsteps do not stop,
We will eventually meet.
"Walking Catnip"
Extraordinary Jun always felt: Cats, with their own magic.
Otherwise, how can it capture the hearts of many young people today?
Even parents who never own pets, forced to take over the cats brought back by their children, will soon have a 180-degree reversal in attitude: from the initial resistance to abandonment to inseparable...
Maybe it's because the soft cat can melt the hard heart; maybe it's because the cat's high cold stimulates the "conquest desire" of the shoveler.
In short, the reasons why we love cats are different, but few people are like today's protagonist Wu Hongli: a cat "mistaken" for life.
In the end, the high salary was naked, wandering the world, only focusing the camera on the cat.
Let me see who is watching me
Do you like cats and cats?
Look, this is the country that has been laid for you
Taxi, stop, there's a kitten with a taxi
Eight years ago, Wu Hongli, who graduated from Shanghai Jiaotong University (netizens called "Brother Hua"), was also a visual designer.
After working for many years, with a high salary, staying up late for a long time has also led to a bunch of physical problems.
Gradually, the work no longer has the passion of the past, and at that time, the appearance of a kitten completely changed the trajectory of his life.
In 2012, when Brother Hua was taking out the garbage downstairs of the company, he met a stray little white cat.
Miraculously, this little white cat has a natural affinity for him, and it goes straight to the feet of Brother Hua and rubs and begs for food.
Looking at this stray cat, Brother Hua's sympathy suddenly surged up, as long as it came, give it some food, because this stray cat is all white, so it is called "snow white".
Slowly, Snow White trusted Brother Hua and his colleagues, and after a while, he also brought two cubs over, and the female colleagues of the company saw that the little cute was even more loving. So everyone simply raised them on the company balcony.
Have you noticed a kitten on the left?
Looking at such a warm and cute little cute, Brother Hua couldn't help but record their every move.
Unconsciously, the life that was originally trapped by heavy work seemed to have fun, and under the influence of the cat, Hua Ge began to rethink the meaning of work and life.
It can be said that snow white is the starting point for Brother Hua to shoot cats, after which he adopted 2 cats and became obsessed with shooting cats.
In April 2018, Hua Ge finally decided to resign and work full-time as a street cat photographer.
Everyone around him thinks he's crazy, giving up a high-paying job just to wander the streets and shoot cats?
Brother Hua didn't think anything of it, because he finally found the love in his heart.
At first, it was just a street corner and alley in Shanghai.
But as his addiction to cats grew, he began photographing cats all over the country.
As long as everyone provides clues about the beautiful cat, he will "smell the cat and move" and start the journey immediately, thousands of kilometers away.

Quick, keep up, brother first give you a sample
Because he often squatted in a place obsessed with shooting cats, he was often mistaken for a thief stepping on the spot, so he made a lot of misunderstandings, and when he mentioned these interesting things, Brother Hua cried and laughed.

Wu Hongli said: This is the most satisfactory work so far this year
Well, autumn has arrived
Brother, you look at it a little bit
But what is more uncomfortable than being misunderstood is being questioned for abusing cats.
"Did you throw the cat out?" Otherwise how can you take such a difficult photo?"
Brother Hua has a hard time saying this, shooting cats for 8 years, he has already accumulated a lot of experience in contact with cats.
Everywhere he went, he carried cat food, cat sticks, and catnip.
The cat "taking off" is just a natural reaction to the cat's favorite cat stick after gaining the cat's trust.
Come on, give it a hug
Mom said I was too young to fall in love
More often than not: shooting a cat requires a great deal of patience, and squatting is a few hours. In the process, you also have to constantly think about the composition and press the shutter at the right time.

Fortunately, the time does not pay off, from 2012 to shoot cats so far, more than 8 years, Brother Hua walked the streets and alleys to shoot more than 40,000 cat films, Weibo account @ Meow Woo has been constantly followed by 2.57 million people, and even because of the cat shooting also appeared on CCTV.
He is known as "the leading street cat photographer in China".
Once many Japanese videographers who took cats were fired at home, the secret was that cats had no sense of distance from people. The domestic stray cats are in an unstable atmosphere and often clash with swords.
The principle of Hua Ge's shooting is to strive to break the sense of distance and use photos to convey nature and love.

At the time of shooting,
Brother Hua gave love and patience to the cat without reservation,
Subtle
The cat also opened his heart,
Let him become full of love for life,
Be more empathetic to people and things.

It can be said that
The process of taking pictures of cats,
It is also the process of healing oneself.
Saw the little orange cat with two paws standing up
His heart also became cute.
See two mouths
Inseparable, ears grinding
Realize that it is necessary to take pity on the person in front of you.
And the cat that sits precariously and is not angry,
No matter how you shoot, you won't be moved,
Maybe this is the determination of large families.
It is said that the fortune cat, the fortune cat,
There was no intuitive experience before
Now seeing this scene, I suddenly realized:
Cute cats, sleep in the place of wealth.
Amazingly,
It's not just Brother Hua who is cured by cats
Waiting for Brother Flower to update the cat tablets before going to bed,
It has become a compulsory course for many people.
"It keeps us at the end of a day,
Rekindle hope in life. ”

It can rekindle people's hopes for life,
This is something that Brother Hua did not expect.

Yin and yang cut dawn, and the jade hairpin reflects chivalry
But the back of hope
There are also harsh realities.
There are many people who love cats and raise cats,
There are many people who abandon cats and let them become stray cats,
Just the stray cats of Beijing,
Conservative estimates are hundreds of thousands of large,
Although there are government-related relief subsidies,
But it is still difficult to solve the problem at the root.
Brother Flower who loves cats like life,
Where to bear to look at the cat
Displaced, hungry and cold,
So every year he takes pictures of cats
Made into peripheral products for sale,
Then a part of the money is withdrawn for stray cat rescue.
I hope that with my own meager strength,
Improve the survival status of the little ones.
