Time flies, looking back at the 80s of the last century, many Chinese and foreign photographers have left precious scenery and cultural moments in the land of China.

In the eyes of foreign photographer Bill Hocker, next to Huacheng Temple in Jiuhua Mountain, Anhui Province, in summer, the daily life of the villagers' homes. Bamboo beds, cradles, old people, women, and a few puppies, the Buddha and the mortal world meet here.

7.Guangzhou in 1984, the shadow of industry.

Foreign photographer Peter Charlesworth focuses on the industrial area along the Pearl River, where smoke rises from chimneys, and the tension between industry and nature blends in the picture.

8.Jiayuguan in 1982, the vicissitudes of camel shadow.

Under the shutter of Japanese photographer Hiroji Kubota, a male villager rides a camel on the asphalt road in Jiayuguan. Jiayuguan City is clearly visible in the distance, and the years flow quietly in the picture.

9.Nanjing, 1983, campus time.

In the work of foreign photographer Kattebelletje, in the scenic area of the Ming Tomb, buses are parked on the side of the road, and elementary school students are preparing to visit. It's a picture full of innocence.

10.In Xi'an in 1984, history meets.

Such a picture not only reminds people of the hard work of that era, but also makes people deeply feel the truth and beauty of life.

Secondly, Bill Hocker's Jiuhua Mountain** shows the wonderful blend of Buddhism and the earthly world. The life of the villagers next to the Buddhist temple reveals a quiet and peaceful atmosphere. In the courtyard in summer, bamboo beds, cradles, old people, women, every item seems to tell the ordinary and happy life. This blandness contains a kind of reverence for nature, life, and a love for ordinary life.

Francois Lochon's footage of the streets of Kunming is full of curiosity and yearning for novelty. People gathered, holding novelty objects and staring expectantly. It's like a time tunnel that takes us back to a time of exploration and curiosity. This scene is reminiscent of the cultural development and social changes of that era, and the emergence of novelties added a lot of fun to people's daily lives.
