She said: ”Nowadays, most habitats there were old people, young people went to town and did not choose to stay at their village. After my grandfather’s death, my grandmother also moved to the town where my uncle lives. At that time, I felt nostalgia, and I was worrying about memories of the village would also disappeared with the time goes by. For this reason, I raise an idea to record all details about the village with my camera.” Photo/VCG
