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.
As is often the case, Chen Lei takes his digital camera and walks patiently through the old city. Over the years he has taken thousands of professional pictures of old buildings to create a record for his present and future fellow citizens. Another important part of his project is the interviews he conducts with elderly residents. Not only does he attempt to write stories about the old buildings and their residents but he also writes about what is happening now. In addition, it’s a good chance to tell students about cultural heritage by visiting schools.
Neither people nor buildings last forever, but Chen Lei's photos can help us remember them. All in all, it is worthwhile praising Chen Lei’s great contributions.
