Capturing a transformation

During his visit early this year, Hei focused on youth — the true barometer of rural China's metamorphosis. He returned to find vehicles navigating asphalt roads, brick dwellings, and a new generation discussing e-commerce ventures over smartphones.
"The lens has not only shown me the external changes in the young people of Xinyaozi, but has also allowed me to sense the transformation in their inner world. They have especially maintained the diligence and kindness of their ancestors, while looking for the various possibilities for their future career paths," Hei says.
