EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enchanting beauty of Xijiang village in Leishan County, southeast Guizhou province. The image showcases a general view of the village before Miao New Year's Day, providing a glimpse into the vibrant culture and rich traditions of the ethnic Miao minority in China. The picture reveals an abundance of picturesque housing nestled amidst rolling hills and majestic mountains. The elevated view allows us to appreciate the tranquility and serenity that permeates this rural landscape. As clouds gracefully drift across the sky, we are reminded of nature's ever-changing beauty. However, beyond its aesthetic appeal, this photograph also prompts reflection on pressing global issues such as climate change and air pollution. With creative use of copy space, it encourages contemplation about how our actions impact not only our immediate environment but also natural phenomena like meteorology. In this scene devoid of people, we can imagine ourselves immersed in the simplicity and purity of village life. It serves as a reminder that amidst urban cities with their bustling crowds and towering buildings, there is still great beauty to be found in nature's embrace. Overall, Sheng Li has masterfully captured both the external allure and intrinsic charm of Xijiang village through his lens. This print transports us to a world where tradition meets breathtaking landscapes—a testament to humanity's deep connection with its surroundings.
