Chen Danqing wrote the preface "Tattered Memories" and recommended, "Mr. Feng Keli came forward to narrate his own story in "Old Photos". I read it, and every chapter is good... It turns out that in order to obtain and be allowed to publish these photos, there are stories behind the photos in the photos..." The expanded edition of this book, part of the "Reviewing Old Photos" series, is a personal account of collecting and editing old photos over the years. It comes with more than a hundred precious photos and talks about them to explore the unique value of photos in understanding history. Some of these pictures were "not suitable for publication" in the archives of Xinhua News Agency, some were in the "enemy files" and were originally stored in the enemy and puppet files of the Public Security Bureau. Some of them subverted many expressions in our textbooks and embarrassed "historical stereotypes"; some were from our "private photo albums". By interpreting "various encounters with photos", one can look at history and gaze at "individual lives and memories of the times" in addition to "the grand images of family and country".
