[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A couple of days ago, I went back to Lulou Village in Mengcheng, Anhui Province, where I lived and worked as famer for almost five years since 1969. There is a huge change in that area in the past 32 years. There was no electricity, no clock and people had to drink water from well.

This guy was a good friend of mine in that village. He was very young at that time and used to be a head of Production Team in People's Commune. I could't remember his full name. I called his nick name when I met him last Sunday, all the people around smiled, since nobody call his nick name anymore and he is a grandpa already.

Taken at his house with the natural light. The effect was not bad.
