A picture is worth a thousand words
Chen Lei is a senior teacher who takes photos of old buildings in Wuhan in order to preserve the city’s cultural heritage.
Every day, Chen Lei takes his camera and takes photos of old buildings.When asked the reason why he does so, he usually says, “A picture is worth a thousand words，so taking photos is a good way to protect cultural relics.” Thanks to his thousands of photos, more than ten old buildings have been preserved by the government and even more people begin to protect the cultural heritage.Besides, he interviewed over 30 old people to write stories about the old buildings last year.On the other hand, he visits schools to tell students about the ways of preserving the cultural heritage.What a big difference Chen Lei makes!
Neither people nor buildings last forever, but Chen Lei's photos can help us remember them. The stories that accompany them also help build a picture of life for future generations to hear and add their own stories, too.
