Spanning centuries for now

The photo was taken at the Forbidden City in Beijing. When I pressed the shutter, history seemed to become a time and space tunnel. It seemed that passing through the doorway can connect China's present prosperity with the past cultural treasures.

Night tour of Tianjin ancient cultural street

The photo was taken in Tianjin Ancient Culture Street. This is the entrance of Cultural Street that I accidentally took when I was sitting on a sightseeing bus. The bright lights in the interior contrast with the darkness outside. The market life in history seemed to be illuminated at this moment.

Engraved time

The photo was taken in Peiyang Square of Tianjin University. This is a group photo of my shadow and the school history monument when I entered the school. Light skillfully connected me with the campus history.
