In recent years, I have been consciously capturing the fashion elements that are appearing more and more in small counties or towns. The kind of mix and match and the sudden appearance of dramatic elements often fascinate me. All that I can do is to use my lens to preserve as much of these real changes as possible. I don't deliberately use light, shadow and photo composition to create a sense of beauty, but I am used to using the most direct and simple images to simply present the situation I see.

Although one can only catch a glimpse of the life in it, but as time goes by, I have accumulated a lot of such photos. At least it is a true portrayal of people's life in a period of time, and it can be regarded as a photographic archive.
