Pictures of All Living Things in Myanmar: Glimmer of Light and Dust Under the Pagoda

Myanmar is a country that has been double labeled as "dangerous" and "mysterious" in the news. But putting aside the grand narratives of geopolitics and the filters of stereotypes, this is a real world composed of tens of millions of specific people. This book takes "the appearance of all living beings" as the starting point and goes deep into the texture of this land. We record the barefoot believers who spent all their savings just to donate a piece of gold foil under the pagoda, and describe the one-legged fishermen paddling in incredible postures on Inle Lake. We not only gaze at the uncarved innocent smiles on the faces of street earners, but also face the cunning and survival laws spawned by poverty in the gray area. In the midst of extreme poverty and turmoil, between devout faith and secular mud, the Burmese people are using their own way to interpret the roughest and most moving philosophy of survival. This is not only a documentary about a foreign country, but also a profound gaze on how human beings rebuild their inner order under extreme difficulties.
