Photographer Yan Ming's latest collection of essays following the best-selling books "I Love This Romance I Can't Cry" and "The Great Country" is the final chapter of the Growth Trilogy. The author uses warm and sincere words to record the experience of returning to his hometown after wandering for many years. Facing separation and loss, he rethinks his life course and career choices. In retrospect, there is hesitation, but also obsession and belief. More than 30 photography works are inserted into the book, using images to present the decisive moments in life, and using words to write the stories behind the photography.

A rare sincere work, highly recommended by "One", Thinkplus Thinks Out Loud is the brainchild of the speaker Han Han and Wang Han's favorite, the first collection of essays by the famous Chinese photographer Yan Ming. "I Love This Romance I Can't Cry" is the first collection of image essays by the famous Chinese photographer Yan Ming, who is known as the "poet-photographer", and is also the first collection of creative writings by photographers in mainland China. This book collects Yan Ming's representative works since 2008, including the "My Pier" series, the "Great Country" series, etc. (Including some new works that have never been published). The book is divided into four chapters, with the titles of "Decision", "Consideration", "Causation" and "Grace". The images with stories and the stories behind the images are footnotes to each other, extending the photographer's insights into themes such as amateur and professional, body and spirit, part and whole, present and long-term through photography. It is also the author's "premonition that the road is halfway through", "the help and compassion received along the way", and "thousands of mountains and rivers outside the work". With sincerity deep in his heart and poetic images and words, the author shows us the most authentic absurdity and romance in current Chinese society.
