About Keting

Bio

I am a photographer. My father bought the first digital camera when I was a primary student, and I could hardly bear to put it down. With the camera I began to sense the nature and the society in a different way through that little viewfinder. Since then, I became more sensitive to the things happened around me, and try to figure out the essence of things. Traveling with the camera is my favorite for I really appreciate finding different stories out of my home. Every story has a hero or heroine and I'd like to try my best to understand his or her feeling in the story by aking photos.

I'm passionate about

Do not forget the missing story, never be indifferent, which is the theme of the event I would like to hold.

An idea worth spreading

In 2010, I took a trip to Dali, a beautiful city in Yunnan Province. I found a 90-year-old veterans, Zhong Yulin, who was a member of China Expeditionary Force.As is known to all, China has experienced the baptism of the war during the first half of the 20th century. At that time, a host of man stood up and fought against the enemy regardless of personal safty. Nowadays, their living situation is seldom be considered. The old man followed the force to Dali, and married with a single mother who had 3 children. He promised that he will protect the family forever. So Zhong have stayed in Dali for 70 years, and never comes back to his home towns. I was deeply touched by his story,not only by his respectable quality, but also his status of poor. It reminded me that nowadays people have lost so many precious things. Many of us become so indifferent to our history and our fellows. Many of us forget those who shed blood for our nation's liberation, we fail to inherit some of their good quali
