Hailong Xie, "I Want Study"
1991
I chose this photo is because it is the symbol of Project Hope in China, which is my favorite picture influenced me a lot and super famous in China. It took by Hailong Xie, a photographer of the China Youth Daily. The photo shows a young girl who from a poor area of China. She is in class and her big eyes reveal her desire for study. In China, children from poor mountain's areas are very hard to go to school. They are poor and there are no teachers want to teach in poor areas. So China established the Project Hope in order to help those poor children. This photo is one of the publicity photos. Through this black and white photo, I can really feel her longing for study, her eager for better life and better future. Every time I see this picture, it evokes my sympathy. And also reminds me how lucky I am I can study, even study abroad. This photo affects lots of people in China.
