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 culture heritage.
Every day, Chen Lei takes his camera and walks patiently through the older parts of the city. Over the years he has taken thousands of pictures of old buildings to create a record for his fellow citizens in the present and future. Besides, he interviewed over 50 old people to write stories about the old buildings. When he is free, he visits schools to tell students about the ways of preserving the cultural heritage. He said: “The old buildings are living legacy to date back to the ancient ages and pass on in the future.”
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.
