《火车上的中国人(英)》内容简介|作者

内容简介

　　40年，中国经济飞速发展，铁路就是这片土地的动脉，同时也是中国经济腾飞的一面镜子。摄影师王福春作为铁路工作者，将镜头对准了火车上的芸芸众生，以近乎本能的观察和感触，记录了火车这个狭小、线性空间里的人情冷暖、喜怒哀乐，将这原本是交通工具的车厢，扩展成了人生的舞台、历史流转的空间，扩展成了社交的平台、欢乐的剧场、移动的大篷车。这部用时间积累而成的作品，将生活浓缩在一列列飞驰的火车上，摄影师王福春用他独特的幽默眼光和犀利视角，将社会的进步、人性的本色体现在一张张黑白影像之中，带给读者无穷的回味。时光荏苒，当我们今天坐上干净舒适的火车车厢，回首往事，想起当年的火车和车上的经历，也许那些痛苦和拥挤早已淡忘，而留下的是温暖的记忆和那些旅途中相识的好友。 In the past 40 years, China's economy has developed by leaps and bounds. Railways are like the arteries of the land but also mirror China's economic prosperity. As a railway worker and a photographer Wang Fuchun has always focused his camera on passengers on trains. With near-instinctive observation and empathy, he has recorded their real emotions, sadness, happiness, joys and sorrows, in narrow, long trains. By doing so, he has extended the trains, originally a means of transportation, into a stage of life, a space of historical changes, a platform for socialization, a joyful theater and a moving caravan. This engrossing album condenses people’s lives into fast-moving trains. The photographer Wang Fuchun uses his unique humorous vision and sharp perspective to reflect social progress and human nature in his black and white photos, allowing his audience to join him in this delightful journey. Time flies. When we look back on the past and recall our experiences on the trains in those days while sitting in a clean and comfortable train today, we may have forgotten the pain and those jostling crowds. What remains are warm memories and friends we have made on our many trips.
