Changes Through Images (English-Chinese Edition): 100 Then-and-Now Photographs of Life in China

Changes Through Images (English-Chinese Edition): 100 Then-and-Now Photographs of Life in China

Streets, Homes, Work, Travel, School, Entertainment and Villages — Paired Photos from China Daily’s “A Moment in Time” Column, Showing What Changed and What Stayed the Same Over Decades
This is not a history book, and it is not a book of artistic photography. It is a collection of one hundred pairs of photographs—an old picture and a new picture of the same subject, placed side by side. You see a street corner in the 1980s and the same corner today. A family meal then and now. A factory floor, a train carriage, a classroom, a village road—each pair shows you what has changed, and what has not. The pictures come from China Daily‘s long-running column “A Moment in Time,” and together they offer something a written history cannot: the ability to look at two moments at once and feel the distance between them. If you want to see how ordinary life in China has shifted over the past few decades, without reading a dense history book or flipping through a purely aesthetic photo album—this is it.

Product Description

What does change look like? In this remarkable photo book, the answer unfolds across 100 carefully paired images: a street corner in 1985 beside the same corner today; a child’s toy then, a digital device now; a rural wedding, a factory floor, a family dinner—each comparison tells a story bigger than the frame.

Drawn from the long-running “A Moment in Time” column in China Daily, these photographs do not shout. They quietly document the texture of daily life in China over the past several decades, allowing readers to see not just the headlines of history but the lives lived beneath them-1.

With 217 pages and over 100 color and black-and-white plates, this volume is both a visual archive and an intimate portrait of a society in motion. It is an ideal book for readers interested in contemporary China, documentary photography, and the universal human experience of change.
