There are many nostalgic ** left in his life, so does anyone know who most of these ** are from?
In the era when there was no technology, some important leaders were shot by professionals, and it was no exception.
And the person who filmed for him is named Hou Bo, a great woman who almost recorded the second half of her life.
The unknown Hou Bo, a photographer who came out of the war
Many people have heard of war correspondents, who are a group of people who live in the midst of war, who are responsible for documenting the situation of the war and even exposing the darkness of the war.
Although war still exists today, compared with the inhumane and unprincipled era of World War II, the living environment of war correspondents is relatively better, and in China, where Hou Bo is located, life is a luxury.
Hou Bo is not her real name, her original name is Yan Qianjin, which is the name her grandfather gave her, and Hou Bo also used the name Yan Feng for a short time to make herself look more manly.
Hou Bo finally followed the advice of the then Director of Security, Zhou Xing, and changed his name to Hou Bo, and continued to use it until his death.
Although the name Yan Qianjin sounds quite atmospheric, in fact, Hou Bo is also a member of the poor public, but Hou Bo's grandfather is a person who attaches great importance to children's education.
He did not neglect Hou Bo's education because she was a girl, and sent her to study abroad from the age of six, which laid a good foundation for Hou Bo to participate in the revolution in the future.
On October 10, 1937, the Japanese army officially invaded Taiyuan, and Hou Bo and many female students in Taiyuan did not want to be slaves and decided to join the guerrillas, at which time Hou Bo's father and grandfather were no longer there.
Only Hou Bo's grandmother is still in the world, Hou Bo expressed to his grandmother that he wants to participate in the revolution, Hou Bo's grandmother didn't say a word, took out the remaining 4 silver dollars at home and handed them to the other party, Hou Bo took these four silver dollars, and officially embarked on the road of resisting Japan and saving the country.
Hou Bo, who devoted himself to the revolution, in the days of the training class
In the era of underdeveloped information, Hou Bo finally found the whereabouts of the Eighth Route Army after several setbacks, and soon joined the revolutionary team of Zhongtiao Mountain at that time, and then was assigned to the office of the Eighth Route Army in Xi'an by the headquarters, where he received military and political training in the local training class.
Hou Bo, who studied in the training class, successfully joined the Communist Party at the age of 14 with his intelligence and the simple spirit of hard work and hardship, and then sent him to Yan'an to study a few months later in order to train Hou Bo.
Hou Bo studied at the Border District High School and then the Women's University in Yan'an, where she spent her best seven years as a student.
also met his lover Xu Xiaobing there, and it was this Xu Xiaobing who made Hou Bo and photography indissoluble.
The love that came together because of photography
One day, when Hou Bo and his classmates were playing by the river, Xu Xiaobing, as a photographer, also happened to be at the scene, looking at the other party's handsome appearance, Hou Bo was not yet 18 years old at this time.
But I already have a love for Xu Xiaobing, especially when I heard that the other party had filmed for senior leaders such as *** and worked as a war correspondent on the front line, I admired him even more.
Under the tandem of friends and classmates, the two sides often met each other in private, and soon Xu Xiaobing also had a good impression of this girl who was always prone to blushing.
The relationship between the two grew warmer day by day, and then the two got married in 1942 with the blessing of a friend.
In the process of dating Xu Xiaobing, Hou Bo also gradually developed a sense of love for the art of photography, and the two often studied and ** photography expertise in private.
However, due to the war era, the main purpose of everything was to resist aggression, and Hou Bo became an excellent photographer until the end of the Anti-Japanese War.
After the end of the Anti-Japanese War, Hou Bo was sent to the photography department of the Northeast Film Studio as the section chief.
It is far more complicated than simply shooting, from lighting to framing, which is undoubtedly a huge challenge for Hou Bo, who is halfway home to learn photography.
Fortunately, her husband Xu Xiaobing is a professional in this area and gave him a lot of advice, which greatly improved Hou Bo's photography skills.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Hou Bo was invited by Yang Shangkun and Ye Zilong to work as a photographer in Zhongnanhai.
It has gradually become the royal photographer of many leaders, including the first leaders, responsible for taking daily meetings and work photos of the leaders.
Among them, Hou Bo took the most ***, such as *** and African leaders, all of which were taken by Hou Bo.
Hou Bo's most precious ** in his heart, a photo with ***
One day, Hou Bo and Xu Xiaobing went to Xiangshan together for filming work, and after filming for a while, Hou Bo and his wife planned to take a break, but they happened to bump into *** who also came here to enjoy it, and the two of them sat down and chatted.
The three of them chatted and chatted, but suddenly laughed and said, Hou Bo and his wife have taken so many ** for themselves, but they have never taken a photo with them, so they took the initiative to take a photo with Hou Bo and his wife on the spot.
This proposal surprised and delighted Hou Bo and his wife, taking a photo with *** is something that many people dream of, and they have long wanted to take a photo with ***.
Now *** took the initiative to make this suggestion, and Hou Bo and his wife agreed on the spot regardless of the fatigue of continuous shooting, and after a clicking sound, the photo of ** and Hou Bo and his wife was completed.
A group photo of 30 years of treasure
Although Hou Bo has taken countless ** for ***, only this group photo is Hou Bo's most treasured one, and it is a testimony of ***'s friendship with her.
Because this ** was taken privately and did not leave a bottom, it was carefully collected by the Hou Bo couple and was not released to the public until 30 years later.
Hou Bo is mainly responsible for filming in Zhongnanhai, not only for *** one person, such as *** and some foreign guests and other national leaders.
Every day, when they attend some important meetings in Zhongnanhai, Hou Bo will carefully photograph their every move to preserve their best side.
Mr. and Mrs. Hou Bo have been working in Zhongnanhai since the founding of the People's Republic of China, working for a total of 12 years until 1961.
Although it is just the most ordinary shooting work for ordinary people, it is not easy for Hou Bo and Xu Xiaobing, Xu Xiaobing once told the reporter who interviewed her that some leaders at home and abroad do not like to take pictures.
So it's very difficult to take a picture of them on the front, and sometimes they have to sneak up on the camera and do it while the other person isn't looking. Its thrilling level is far greater than that of today's paparazzi chasing stars.
From modern times to the establishment of New China, many historical witnesses have been preserved through **.
It is precisely because of the existence of these excellent photographers that we, the people of later generations, can have a detailed understanding of the development of the country and how our country has grown from backwardness to strength.
