Reviews

[Galatea · Rating 5 out of 5]

A whirlwind social history of china recovering from the terrors of Maoism, told in snapshots and snippets of everyday life.

This was a welcome breath of fresh air after reading Lovell's Maoism: A Global History

[Zeitgeist · Rating 4 out of 5]

劉香成的鏡頭確實很有寓意，只可惜還有很多圖片為過審被刪除了，希望能找到英文版補上。

一个卓越的摄影者必须深刻关怀他的拍摄对象，伟大的照片是思想的呈现。在相当多的摄影师镜头下，中国变成了一个剧院，而摄影师的工作也成了戏码。与这些人不同，刘香成经历了这个国家的日常真实生活，他的照片摆脱了模式化和戏剧化，展示了后毛泽东时代的中国的真正面貌，一个正在揭开自身面纱的中国。
