上海变大了,上海变高了,但在高楼林立之下,上海还有着传统的石库门,有着更为平民的棚户区住宅。在我的这些照片里,无论是原住民还是新来者,他们大都是社会草根阶层。他们面对生活并没有过多的抱怨,也没有更多的愁苦,对明天充满了希望。他们往往比住在高级寓所里的人更能笑对生活。 Shanghai has grown bigger and Shanghai has become higher, but under the skyscrapers, Shanghai still has its traditional Shikumen, with more civilian shantytowns. In my photos, both aboriginal and newcomer, they are mostly grassroots social groups. They face life without excessive complaints, no more sorrow and hope for tomorrow. They tend to laugh more at life than those who live in high-class apartments.
