40年前，我们对美好生活的向往是楼上楼下，电灯电话，是牛肉炖土豆；40年后，生活在物质极大丰富之中的人，想的却是如何让精神世界不寂寞。这40年，社会和经济呈现几何式发展，摄影师以记录时代为己任，用影像作为日记本，用相机为这个时代描绘了全景式的速写，这是时间带来的诗意和力量。本书精心选取了300余幅中外摄影师的作品，多维度、客观地展现了1978年至2018年，中国人在衣食住行、消费理财、社交互联等诸多方面的变化也许我们没法找回失去的时间，但可以打开影集，通过照片回想这一路走来的快乐和艰辛。40 years ago, we aspired for the beautiful life of living in buildings, using electric lamps and telephone and eating beef stewed with potatoes in daily life; 40 years later, people living in material abundance rack their brains to find the ways to keep their spiritual world from loneliness. Chinas society and economy have seen a geometric growth in the 40 years. The photographers undertake the responsibility of recording the times, keep a video diary with their camera and give a panoramic sketch of the times. It is the poetic thought and magic power of time. The book carefully selects more than 300 works of Chinese and foreign photographers that objectively show from multiple dimensions the changes of the Chinese in basic necessities of life, consumption, money management and social connections from 1978 to 2018―Its impossible for us to retrieve the lost time but we can open the photo album and recall the happiness and hardships through the whole journey recorded in photos.

Foreword 1 Talking PhotographsA photo may look like a negligible piece of paper. You dont need to be a rocket scientist to take photos, but exactly because how easy it is, good ones can be quite rare. If a photo is all about lies, big talks and empty talks, it would be just as valueless as a piece of paper.Despite social turmoil and chaos during the Cultural Revolution 1966-1976, I focused my lens only on places of historic interest and scenic beauty. All photos I took back then were about myself, full of an Ive-been-here narcissism. Today, these places remain the same, but Chinese society has witnessed tremendous changes. Forty years ago, I eventually learned to take photos of others rather than myself and pointed my camera at the evolution of society.In the early days of Chinas reform and opening-up, the country seemed too calm for one to notice anything, but a wave of mind emancipation was afoot like underground lava ready to erupt. Public campaigns which were commonplace during the Cultural Revolution faded away, while scenes of everyday life became popular subjects of photography. To capture the transient moments of the times, photographers must stop turning a blind eye to what was happening around them. It requires courage to shoot dignitaries, and particularly, a broad mind to shoot ordinary people. Many a little makes a mickle. Gradually, I stood out from other photographers and formed my distinctive style. My photographic works dont have me in them anymore, but I can always see myself through them. Sometimes, photos talk more and better than men.Techniques are tools of photography. Art is the goal of photography. But life is the soul of photography. Every unforgettable moment throughout ones lifebirth, celebrations for the first month or 100th day of a new-born, the first day at school, the first day at work, falling in love, getting married, among othersis vividly recorded in photos as a witness to the reincarnation and continuity of life, forming cells flowing in the blood vessels that are our society, which is exactly why we all live in photos.A photo is a visual element. Determinism and relativism together lay the foundation for the instant language of photography. I have been committed to photography for half a century now, but still I feel delightful when I snap an ideal picture at one take. Youll miss a good picture if you press the shutter a little bit earlier or later because there is only a fine line between a good picture and a bad one. This is a self-challenging process, as well as the charm of photography. When a photographer doesnt have a camera in hands, he or she can read, write or draweverything is related to photography and can be recorded in photos. This is what motivates photographers to press the shutter and take photos. Our photos can tell the world what has happened in China over the past four decades.A photo is like a fragment of history born to mirror the change of times. Old photos are time-honored, serving to record the events of history. The photos we take today, with the passing of time, will become genuine old photos. A photo speaks louder than words. This collection of photos is like the painting Along the River During the Qingming Festival by renowned painter Zhang Zeduan. composed of thousands of words describing the life of the country, the families, and the people over a century.I was deeply moved by the vibrant life in the photos; each eye and figure activated my sleeping memory, and every detail is worth savoring. I hold great respect for the photographers for capturing fleeting moments full of vitality： so many births, so much growth, so much resurgence, and so many changes. Im proud to be one of them! We shared the same breath when we snapped and these photos were the wise spiritual pivot in historical time and space. Supposing Sima Qian had got a camera long ago, he would have left us with an illustrated Records of the Grand Historian. Now we make choice of words and building of sentences and are well-reasoned to write the history of the four decades of Chinas reform and opening-up through images.
