-+- I, 1r 57.228 professional images, which have turned to become pieces of indelible national negative=-: - 12 months

----3 the process of marching, I searched and recorded styles and features ofvarious ethnic groups and:*;' ife through the camera lens in a reverent mood of a photographer, and I sympathized with that blissful=*-..9 With those trials of childhood memories, I endeavored to seek out the Chinese dream among the:-c;sands of miles of mountains and rivers I have been deeply shocked so many times along the wayCninese people of the 56 ethnic groups live from boundless grassland to south frontier junctures, fromsrowy areas and plateaus to Mt. Tianshan,from villages and fields to shores of rivers and seas. They anchoriieir hopes on their homeland quietly, living and create life harmoniously and industriously, no matter if theiand is barren or fertile or if it is dry or rainy. These are the features of our motherland and sketches of ourChinese nations

I really appreciate CPC Shanghai Municipal Committee Publicity Department for giving me this specialmission and task .

Thanks for my 14 team members who accompanied me all along the way, the 15g government departmentsand experts and scholars of different ethnic groups who heiped with their kind efforts in this photographingprocess, those friends who persisted in shooting ethnic group materials and supported me selflessly.Also the 1,125 non-material and cultural heriiage inheritors and common ethnic group representatjveswho participated in photographing and constituted collectively the expression of sole Chinese Familyphoto throughout history as well as generous sponsor of Shanghai General Motors Co, Ltd. Due to yourefforts, common people have one more precious image booklet to understand the Chjnese nation and maygenerate a deeper and newer emotion to thjs great nation There will inevitably be some shortages and pityin this image booklet due to iimited capability and time, whjch are remained to be made up by us duringfurther search journey to Chinese nation
