This set of photos was taken in Chongqing, China from 2006 to 2020. My hometown: Chongqing, China is located in the southwest of China inland, on the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. It is a municipality directly under the central government of China, an important strategic fulcrum for the development of the western region, an important connection point between the Belt and Road and the Yangtze River Economic Belt, and an inland open highland. Chongqing is a mountain city, because it is mainly a mountain road, with many uphill and downhill slopes. There are beautiful night scenes of mountain cities, towering bridges across the river, strange urban traffic, and magical overpasses that make old drivers get lost.

Due to the special geographical environment and climate, Chongqing has many nicknames, such as the "stove" named after the hot summer; A "mountain city" named after the urban buildings on the mountain; In winter and spring, Chongqing is cloudy and foggy, also known as the "foggy city". Chongqing, a city with unique landscapes and humanities, has a unique feeling for me, a "Chongqing boy" who grew up in Jie Fangbei, ate spicy hot pot and climbed mountains. To this end, I also combed Chongqing's unique topography and humanistic images to show my humanistic Chongqing.

Comment on the picture with another eye, and shoot the human landscape of the landscape city with your heart.

The collection of video works "City of Mountains and Waters" has brought us impact and enlightenment with its creative exploration, valuable thinking and distinctive new landscape video text. His lens language has unique visual tension and penetrating power of ideological analysis. It not only conveys the elements of the times under the rich historical background of the mountain-water city, but also shows people the realistic situation, environmental ecology and humanistic features of contemporary society. The lingering entanglement between the high development and prosperity of urbanization and people's spiritual and cultural heritage shows a vivid contemporary riverside scene in Tomb-Sweeping Day. Images give roots to history, spirits to scenery, and blood and flesh to characters. Creative practice has proved that documentary and art do not conflict, but can blend harmoniously.

Thinking image is not satisfied with superficial vision to capture "decisive moment", but realizes deep expression with "typical combination" visual composition, which goes straight to the essence of things. With the sensitivity and broad vision of journalism, he accumulated his feelings and love for life, his curiosity, emotion and thinking about people and everything in nature, and his innate nature or acquired artistic beauty. He intercepted representative scenes, emotional details, story lines, characteristics of the times, local characteristics or personality traits with identifiability and connotation value in the complicated world, and expressed them with the image of "from life, higher than life". Mountain City, Jiangcheng, Fog City, Qiaocheng, Stove, Jie Fangbei, Old Teahouse, Spicy Hot Pot, Bangbangjun, the traffic crossing the mountain into the building, and the personality nurtured by the landscape all bear the mark of unusual significance, which constitutes a familiar, strange, unfamiliar and intimate landscape city. Qian Shan has thousands of waters, thousands of people and thousands of faces. You can also read the world in a landscape city. Touch different classes, feel every situation and atmosphere, and look for the harmony or contrast between old and new, history and reality in the landscape changed and decorated by human beings. Therefore, the work has multiple aesthetic and semantic interpretation values.
