Heartwarming Video Tracks Down a Long-Lost Photograph Across Cultures

March 2, 2021

Photography has played a large part in Chinese culture, adding a unique facet to memory documentation that is not often known to most outsiders. One vintage photo with an incredible back story exemplifies this. This mini documentary tells the tale of this photo through Chinese amateur photographer Xu Zhen and French photo archivist Thomas Sauvin; these two men helped create and preserve a timeless piece of history. This video is heartwarming, eye-opening and will change your view about Chinese photography and culture.
