On Sept 15, 1983, my team was transferred from army duty to civilian work in Shenzhen collectively and became a Shenzhen construction company. Changing careers makes one feel worlds apart. All of our young and aspiring comrades faced a variety of choices in their lives, either engaging in business or becoming a construction worker. At that time, Shenzhen's industry was so prosperous that there were many job opportunities enough to make a fortune. Where shall I go? If photography was a job requirement, at that life-changing moment I believed that photography is my lingering ambition, so I decided to continue working in photography. In 1984, I chose to go to Shenzhen Television and became a photojournalist. I wanted to use my camera to record the great era that Shenzhen has been embracing, to express my awe and gratitude toward the pioneers of Shenzhen and the spirit of the people who have rewritten history.
