In the 1980s, Chinese memories through the lens of foreign photographers.
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. Today, we comb through these histories**, ten sheets per series, and interpret them with words to evoke those unforgettable years. I would like to pay my respects to the original photographers.
1.Nanjing, 1985, Labor Movement.
In a rice field in the countryside on the outskirts, foreign photographer Alain Le Garsmeur freezes the figures of adults dividing seedlings. A six- or seven-year-old boy, barefoot and wading through the water, is now past his prime. This moment is a blend of labor and innocence.
2.Jiuhua Mountain in 1981, secular life next to the Buddhist temple.
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.
3.Kunming in 1980, exploring the streets.
Photographer Francois Lochon captures a crowd of people on a street in Kunming. The two of them held the novelty in their hands and stared intently. This scene conveys curiosity and anticipation for the unknown.

French photographer Bruno Barbe captures a moment inside a barber shop in Chengdu. A barber perms the hair of two young women, a subtle change in hairstyles in the new era.
6.Xiamen in 1984, a corner of the city.
From the perspective of foreign photographer Marie Mathelin, a woman and a little girl walk through a poster bar on the street in Siming District, Xiamen. The poster covers children's immunization, blood donation, food hygiene, and urban life is colorful and orderly.
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.
Foreign photographer Wally McNamee captured the Reagan couple's visit to the Terracotta Warriors. The stairwell, where history and the present meet.
Time flies, and these shots condense the customs and humanity of that era. Every ** is a story, a history of China's development. The moments captured by these photographers with their lenses have become immortal memories in the years.
This group of historical time travel with ** as the medium outlines the colorful picture of Chinese society in the eighties of the last century. The lenses of the photographers, like a magic pen that travels through time and space, capture the landscapes, lives and emotions unique to that special period. In these frozen moments, we seem to hear the melodious melody of the years and feel the deep charm of historical changes.
First of all, Alain Le Garsmeur's rural labor scene in Nanjing shows the simplicity and industriousness of rural life in China. The picture of the little boy helping barefoot in the rice field is like a simple labor movement, bringing the viewer into a time and space full of vitality and vitality. 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.
Jean Claude's motorcycle on Chang'an Avenue in Beijing captures a colorful picture of fashion and freedom for a moment. Sunglasses, motorcycles, and the chic demeanor of young men make the whole picture full of urban fashion. This ** seems to be a mark of time, outlining the pursuit of freedom and passion of the young generation of that era.
These ** are gathered together, like a time capsule, carrying the memories and emotions of that era. Every frame is a small story, and the entire series is a microcosm of a big era.

With their unique perspectives, these photographers allow us to glimpse the past and feel the changes in society at that time, and sketch a fascinating picture for us. This group of ** makes people immersed in that passionate and energetic time, time flows, and these pictures are forever frozen in the picture scroll of history.
