Lin Jian, who is in his sixtieth year this year, used to be the vice chairman and secretary general of the Guizhou Young Photographers Association, and the chairman of the Guizhou Young Photographers Association. Although he was born in Chengdu, he spent all his memory in Guiyang.
In 1982, when Lin Jian was just 20 years old, out of curiosity and love for images, he picked up his camera and embarked on the road of becoming a photographer. This journey has not stopped for 40 years.

He always focuses on the villagers at work and pays attention to their survival and development, and his works reveal a humanistic spirit. Compassion and responsibility.”
Lin Jian has worked hard to pursue the authenticity of his photographic works.

It is this characteristic that is highly appraised by Zhu Xianmin, the former chairman of the China Art Photography Society: "After 40 years of work, paying attention to ordinary workers is a kind of feeling, but also a realm." "Lin Jian's works seem to record only ordinary mountains.
