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 cultural heritage.
Every day, Chen Lei takes his camera and walks patiently through the older parts of the city,taking photos of old buildingsno matter whether it rains or shines. When asked the reason why he does so, he usually says, “A picture is worth a thousand words,so taking photos is a good way to protect cultural relics.” 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. Another important part of his project are the interviews he conducts with elderly residents. Often these stories help to bring the interesting histories of the buildings to life, giving them their place in the human stories of Wuhan's citizens. He writes about the buildings, their inhabitants and the stories that weave them together. He also visits schools to tell students about their cultural heritage.
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.
