Somewhere beside the water

Water is the source of life. Majorities of ancient Chinese people chose to resided near the water to stress the unity of man and nature. In recent decades, with the economy of China developing rapidly, the natural ecological environment has been destroyed at the same time in return, water contamination is becoming increasingly serious. What I am eager to do is to explore the harmonious and contradictory complex relationship between human and nature through the photography of the water, hoping to arouse people's protection and awe of nature, and reflect on environmental issues.
