　　Exhibition: 2003·Shanghai

　　These photos were shot between 2002 and 2003 in Shanghai. The photographer went the extra mile to avoid the beautifying and propaganda often seen in mainstream media, in order to portray the imbalance and indecency caused by a city in rapid transition. At the same time, this is a conscious betrayal of what the author practiced before.
