The photo package I chose is about a village of left behind children in China shot by a Chinese photographer Liu Feiyue. Growing up in a happy family, when I first knew the story of left-behind children, I was shocked. I couldn’t image what I would be if my parents were not accompany with me. When I saw the crying face of Lingling, my feelings are hard to express. I understand their parents’ choices, but I also feel sad for the left-behind children. I think this series photo is really powerful. The touching children’s faces can help to raise social awareness of the left-behind issue, and probably help the solve the issue.
I think the caption help a lot for people who are not familiar with the topic to understand the story. What I admired is that the photographer only described the situation with plain words. Since the story itself is maudlin enough, no extra words needed.
I really like this kind of photo which reflects serious social issues. It can help to improve the society to be a better one.
