[Explanation] From the frozen top of Changbai for thousands of miles, to the Yellow River wetland where swans live, from the Wuzhen water town with green tiles and white walls, to the clear and magnificent Sailimu Lake in Xinjiang... For more than 20 years since 1998, Hong Kong has Photographer Chen Bingzhong has never stopped moving forward. He has traveled to many provinces and cities in mainland China, recording the development and changes of the country with his camera.

Among the thousands of photos, what he cherishes most is the poverty alleviation he recorded in Daliang Mountain, Sichuan.

　　At that time, in 2012, I passed from Chengdu City to Ya'an City, and then Shimian County went up to the Caspian Sea to Xichang City. I also ran on the road, and it was very bumpy.

After the expressway from Ya'an City to Xichang City was opened in 2014, there has been a very big change.

I remember very much that the altitude from Shimian County to the Caspian Sea increased from 800 meters to more than 2,800 meters, and the altitude increased by 2,000 meters. The 36-kilometer area was drilled with two large caves, 360-degree tunnels, and then went up to the Caspian Sea. Very shocking.

The viaduct seemed to be in the cloud and mist, and I was particularly shocked at that time.

This kind of construction in the interior and support for the backward areas is a very big effort.

　　[Explanation] The road to Shu is difficult, and it is difficult to climb to the sky. The experience of visiting and shooting in the Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture of Sichuan six times has made Chen Bingzhong bluntly unforgettable in his life.

With the continuous improvement of basic transportation facilities, more and more human and material resources have been continuously imported into the hinterland of Daliang Mountain in recent years, and the lives of local people have changed accordingly.

　　The biggest feeling is that with the changes of the times, I saw that the streets of Niuba have also begun to change, and the clothes people wear have begun to be brighter and less tattered.

Another is to see the original old house, and then when I go there, there are new houses with white walls, and there are already tiles on the roof.

That is to say, the government subsidizes each household of 40,000 RMB for them to rebuild new houses.

I saw a little girl standing on a small hill, and from the eyes of those children, I saw their yearning for life and expectation for a better life.

　　[Explanation] Chen Bingzhong will never forget his experience in Caizhu Village, Jingye Texi Township, Meigu County. This village located in the heart of Daliang Mountain is remote and rugged, and it takes hours to drive across a stream to reach it.

In addition to photographing the children in the mountains, Chen Bingzhong's camera also recorded the only volunteer teacher from Chengdu in the village.

　　The teacher who volunteered to teach went to a small village, there was a kindergarten center, and the teacher said that she lived in Meigu County, and then every Sunday afternoon, she would leave the county for more than 30 kilometers to go to the village to teach these things. kid.

In the classroom, I saw that they have a carton of milk at noon and at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. She said that this was also allocated by the state to the children.

　　[Explanation] Shutters and photos one after another bear the Hong Kong photographer's deep love for the mountains and rivers of the motherland, and also record the transformation and development of mainland cities in his unique way and perspective.

　　Photography can tell stories with pictures.

For example, if we present a picture, if we use words to make a description, it may take hundreds of words to explain clearly.

But if you use an image or picture to talk about it, it will be more clear and convincing.

Because people in Hong Kong still lack a comprehensive understanding of the mainland, because there are 56 ethnic groups in our country, and 56 ethnic groups have their own characteristics. How can we introduce these 56 ethnic groups to ( Hong Kong people), let Hong Kong people deepen their understanding.

　　[Explanation] The records are endless and the steps are constant. Even the epidemic has not stopped Chen Bingzhong.

He gave lectures and held exhibitions in Hong Kong, and exhibited his photographic works in the Mainland at cultural institutions, aiming to let more Hong Kong people know and understand the progress and development of the country.
