The 2017 edition of the Lianzhou Photo Festival, held from December 2, 2017 to January 2, 2018, mainly focused on the selfie and looked at how social networks have changed photography. Among the works presented were Yan Ming’s Country of Ambition, a project about Chinese historical economic boom and the environment of China; Xu Yihua images on the issue of security in our virtual world; Xu Peiwu’s Sunset over the Endless Yangzi River, a poetic journey alongside the Yangzi River in honor of the poet Bai Li ; and Wu Dengcai’s series about “ancestral halls”, important buildings with a long history deeply rooted in the Chinese local communities that serve a diverse range of cultural functions with “respect and harmony”.
