My China - The faces of China/August 2006, Photos: Yafa Kfir&Gili Dekel My china Home page: www.yafakfir.com
Chine is big, very bigImmense and mighty all the adjectivesof size and powerfit it.This vast Chinais made of people.Each one has his own dreamhappiness, pain and sorrowFear of the government and hope.
Giving people a face - that‘s what I like Here, I brought fewof the men and womenthat I engravedon the memory cardof my cameraPeople.Like you and me – and different.
I walked among them, a stranger. I saw human beings I took a moment of their happiness, their freedom of their mundane and the gleam of dream in their eyes Brining it all to you, my friends
This country is so big and impressive: Fascinating with its history and spaciousness There are men, women and children They do not look like each other, There are tribes, different types of Chinese Brown, yellow, faired skin Thin, fat…
In China art is different,different musicspecial foodand lots of peoplemore than I ever saw.
This is China whose future is hastily built - right before our eyes Devouring metal, glass and stone from all over he globe Building bridges, highways, glamorous cities And one child – one child only – per family.
This is China of magicNo other word to describe itCulture and artArchitecture and agriculturePoetryMeditation and philosophythis infinite culture of theEast
In this China, there is alsoEvil that is powerful than any mandictating rules, oppressive, hurting, killingThe Tibetans, the opponents of Mao and his likes
The baby-girls murdered in their cribes because they were not boys…
They are sad, they don’t return home all the day long, left off in the streets…
This is China of beauty, ugliness and cruelty -of beautiful paintings on silkdone with fine, soft, brushesof evil and goodnesslike the world.And there are dreams and wishesand promiseyou can see it – in people’s eyes
I drove across it, I walked, soaking up, drinking in, its beautyI loved being there, in a different word, foreign to all I know at home,This is “my” China,Scenery and cultures, but mainly people And there, just like here, a picture of mother and daughter breaks my heart… and there is no escape from the pain.
I brought few crumbsThe rest is waitingforTime, time to load it Home page: www.yafakfir.com
