The Golden Wedding (Series)
DESCRIPTION
It has been more than seventy years since the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949. The marriages of the old people in the picture have also entered the stage of golden and diamond weddings.
Due to historical reasons, these old people did not take wedding photos at the moment of their new marriage in those years. These golden wedding photos were taken by photographers who travelled around the country to make up for it in the doorways or interiors of the old people's own homes. The black-and-white photos symbolise the time of their wedding, and they honestly record the traces of life and the current situation etched on the faces of these old people.
