一直以来山水都是中国人情思中最为厚重的载体。游山玩水的大陆文化意识，以山为德、水为性的内在修为意识，咫尺天涯的视错觉意识，一直成为演绎山水的主线。

职业给了我访山游水的机缘,得以让我重新审视当下的山水.处在高速变化的中国,正沉寝在一片繁荣的亢奋之中,伴随而来的是其势不可当的超强破坏力.在这个环境下,作为普通人实在微不足道.我在长年跋涉山水的过程中,寻找这些依旧与山水为伴的人们,在拍摄时,我和我的拍摄对象互相交换,我成为他们中的一员,然后由和我互换的那个人按动快门.我想,没有什么比身处其中时的感受更强烈和复杂了.哪怕是短暂的一瞬间.对能在路上邂逅到的古典遗珍也感到倍加欣喜,而后是深深的担忧,或许它们明天就不存在了.

Mountains and rivers are always the heaviest carriers of Chinese people’s affection. The continental cultural awareness of making a sightseeing tour, the inherent cultivation consciousness of “mountains being virtuous, rivers being moral”, and the sense of visual illusion of a short distance away are always the main line of interpreting Mountains and waters.

My occupation gives me chances of making sightseeing tours, and makes me capable of re-examining the present Mountains and waters. China is undergoing high-speed changes and immerses itself in the excitement of prosperity. The trend of strong destructive power which cannot be halted is following. Under this circumstance, I seem to be very insignificant as an ordinary people. In the course of my traveling over land and water over the years, I am looking for those people who are still in company with mountains and waters. When taking photos, I exchange with my subjects. I join them, and it is up to the person being exchanged and me to press the shutter. I believe that I cannot feel stronger or more complicated when I am lost in it. Even for a transient moment, I feel so delighted to encounter classical and precious relics on the way. What come next are great anxieties that they are likely to disappear tomorrow.
