1, about photography
Susan. Sontag
Introduction:

Its targets are mainly intellectuals, writers and intellectuals.
Sontag deeply discussed the essence of photography, including whether photography is art, the interaction between photography and painting, the relationship between photography and the real world, and the predatory and aggressive nature of photography. On the surface, photography reflects reality, but in fact, photographic images are a world of their own, an image world, trying to replace the real world.
For readers, the richness and profundity of this book lies not in what conclusion Sontag has drawn, but in her discussion process and anatomical method. This is a discussion, a calm and sharp anatomy. Wonderful, dazzling. Sontag has always been famous for her serious style, but her sarcasm has also been fully played in this book.

Ruan Zhongyi
Introduction:
Everyone has a different interpretation of elegance, which can be a kind of pampering or a kind of figure, connotation or style. In my experience, it should be a state of shrinking myself, but the world will become bigger. ? Ruan Zhongyi
In 1970s and 1980s, photographer Ruan traveled all over Taiwan Province and photographed touching moments in the daily life of countless people. "Lost Elegance" contains 8 1 photos, telling the story behind each photo for the first time, and truly presenting a changing Taiwan Province province that is transforming from a rural society to an industrial and commercial society.
Ruan grew up in the countryside of Taiwan Province. When he was young, he could not understand the hardships of his parents. He wants to escape from the countryside and go to the city. Looking back when he grows up, it is these people who are closest to the land and homesickness that support him and take every step in this increasingly uncertain world. The rural scenery and human feelings of Taiwan Province Province recorded in "Out of Elegant" have become an elusive ancient style. It is behind these simple images and words that we find the long-lost simplicity and elegance.
