China Matters documents stories of Global Photographers’ COVID-19 Observation
Photographers around the world are exploring and telling real stories related to the pandemic through their lens.
Duan Wei, a photo journalist from China Pictorial, stayed in Wuhan for more than two months with a group of four, capturing the moments of how doctors and nurses work on the frontline.
“I think it’s a chance for them to communicate with each other,” said Duan. “They had little time to rest.”
He was also covering the Wenchuan earthquake in 2008, but what he saw in Wuhan was even more stunning to him, as he said “you can’t see where the danger is.”
Ashraf Fawzy, an Egyptian photographer, captured the scene of a little girl sitting on a luggage, waiting to go through quarantine inspection. She is a refugee from Kuwait.
This video was produced by China Matters. It documents different stories of three photographers from China, Egypt and South Korea, who were dedicated to demonstrating people’s real life from different areas in the world through their lens.

China Matters presents the story of Ms. Pan and her Mountaintop Guesthouse21.12.2020 15:36:58 CET | Pressemeddelelse
As Pan Qingqing sips on a traditional Chinese tea, she glances out the window of her mountaintop guesthouse. The view is splendid with billowing clouds and valleys, and this is swiftly followed by laughter and loud chatter in the guesthouse where she is right in the middle of a jovial conversation with her guests who have made the trip to Xiangjian village in the southern city of Hangzhou. The 44-year-old is one of many in Lin’an District to have built guesthouses to attract more visitors from home and abroad. For her, this is an opportunity to bring changes to her hometown. And her plans have been supported by the Hangzhou government. The key to this change has been to combine the local surroundings with the arts to create something fresh where you wouldn’t expect it. And the guesthouses like Ms. Pan’s brings the two together. Bigger than life-size installations of bamboo art now decorate the halls. When guests sit down for an afternoon tea and food, cups and cutlery sets made from lo

From having sports to mobile payment to seeing a doctor online, we have been overwhelmed by a one-screen-and-one-click lifestyle. But what if they have turned smart altogether? In Tianjin Binhai New Area, a subordinate city in the town has been trying to make everything intelligent living here.
