Did Project Hope s Big Eyes be shot with a telephoto lens?

I think so. From Xie Hailong's series of works, I can see that many of them use wide angles, and as mentioned below, they have been replaced with a zoom lens, which should be a telephoto zoom lens.

At that time, Xie Hailong was a propaganda cadre of a cultural center in Beijing, and when he returned to Beijing, he immediately proposed to the director of the museum a kind of assistance model that he hoped would later be used in the project: photographing rural children and bringing them back to let people in the city help them.

It was 1987 and Project Hope was established in 1989.

Therefore, the discovery and photographing of the 'big-eyed' girl Su Mingjuan is not an accident, but an inevitability. Xie Hailong said that in 1991, he came to Zhangwan Village, Taoling Township, Jinzhai County, Anhui Province, and followed a group of children to the school.

Xie Hailong's eyes were looking for a touching moment. He saw Su Mingjuan who was writing with his head bowed there, and at this time, it happened that Su Mingjuan raised his head and firmly grasped Xie Hailong's heart, and he found that this child's eyes were very big, and there was an infectious force that reached people's hearts.

Xie Hailong quickly changed to a zoom lens and held the camera steadily. When the girl held the pencil and looked up again, Xie Hailong decisively pressed the shutter. Only two negatives were taken before and after, one horizontal and one vertical, and that vertical picture became a classic.

Holding a pencil tip in his hand and underneath his unkempt hair is a pair of [big eyes full of thirst for knowledge] about the protagonist [Su Mingjuan].

In 1983, Su Mingjuan was born in an ordinary farming family in Zhangwan Village, Taoling Township, Jinzhai County, Anhui Province.

In May 1991, 7-year-old Su Mingjuan was a first-grade student at Zhangwan Primary School, and Xie Hailong, a photojournalist from China Youth Daily, went to Jinzhai County to interview and shoot the Hope Project, ran to more than a dozen villages, and finally came to Zhangwan Primary School in Dabie Mountain to find Su Mingjuan in the classroom. This picture is a little girl holding a pencil head and two big eyes full of longing in front of her, entitled "I want to read" after the publication of **, which was quickly scrambled by major newspapers and magazines in China, and became the propaganda symbol of China's Hope Project, and Su Mingjuan also became the image representative of the Hope Project.

"Big Eyes" is a shot occasionally captured by a photography enthusiast while interviewing Project Hope. The reason why it has become the symbol of the "Hope Project" is that the longing and melancholy expression of this "big eye" can even touch the love of the people and inspire the people to pay attention to the out-of-school children in poor areas and the Hope Project.

The eyes are the windows of the soul, and the bigger ones can touch a person's heart through heart-to-heart communication. And it's also cute, and it's even more helpful.

On the basis of four rounds of poverty alleviation practice, the Xiangxi Prefecture Party Committee put forward the strategy of "retiring people to the mountains", that is, through a series of comprehensive measures such as education and training, the poor population will gradually be transferred from the mountainous areas to urban employment and development, so as to achieve a win-win situation of poverty alleviation and ecology. Its important content is the "9+2" education poverty alleviation model - the school-age children in the poor mountainous areas from the first grade to the central township boarding school to complete the nine-year compulsory education, and then guide the poor students who cannot enter the first stage of high school to receive about 2 years of order-based vocational education, so that they can become high-quality workers, as soon as possible to work (the monthly income of employment can reach more than 1,000 yuan), and gradually get rid of poverty. In the future, they have a fixed occupation, income and residence in the town, and after a certain amount of accumulation, they can also carry out higher stages of study through night colleges, correspondence courses, self-examinations, college entrance examinations and other forms, so as to realize their higher ideals.

In this way, the cost of education for the society and the family can be afforded, and the children of poor families can be covered, which basically guarantees the right to education and the right to educational fairness of the children of farmers in poor mountainous areas. The "9+2" education model, which aims at employment, is undoubtedly a more effective and pragmatic education model for most of the children of farmers in the mountainous areas of Xiangxi.

Through the implementation of the "9+2" project, the children of farmers in poor mountainous areas can stand on the same starting line as their urban children from the day they go to school, so as to achieve equal educational opportunities; Through the "9+2" project, we will complete the "rebirth" of farmers to citizens. so that their descendants are no longer peasants, but only peasants. More importantly, the generation of poor people can be minimized.

Our slogan is: "9+2" education changes the fate of poverty.

This picture is a little girl holding a pencil head, two big-eyed little girls looking straight ahead and eager for knowledge, entitled "I want to go to school" after it was published, it was quickly scrambled by major newspapers and magazines in China, and became the propaganda symbol of China's Hope Project, and Su Mingjuan also became the image representative of the Hope Project.

You see, these big eyes, so bright, so focused. It stared ahead, lest it miss every word the teacher had written on the blackboard, and every word the teacher had said......

You see, these big eyes, flashing with longing, full of melancholy. Although the classroom light is not bright in the morning, and although she does not even have time to comb her hair and wash her face before going to school, she is worried about losing her ...... even such learning opportunities
