"The Salt of the Earth"

Soldiers do their best, shed blood on the battlefield, and see death as their home. From ancient times to the present, what has changed is the appearance of the attacker, not the persistence of his defense; what has changed is the weapon held in the hand, not the zeal to show hope. Black and white memory is frozen, Ji Cheng is eternal, it is the end, just like the beginning. Human existence is sharp and angular, and the sharpness that is ignored by itself may play a role in the unconscious; but the way of connecting the edges and corners is round, the sharpness cannot be eliminated, but the roundness can expand, just like the head of a crayon. Sharp, yet soft in color, it can fill in the blanks between black and black, rendering stiff and indifferent lines. Complete a picture, and then continue to paint more, and so on, the world will become clear. Our tools are not only crayons, there are many more, including limbs, facial features and mind, what we are born with and possess, none of which is superfluous, the measure of its value lies in how to use it. We were originally primary colors, monotonous and unified, but later, we created a colorful world; we experienced the same evolution and birth, without exception, and later, divided and broken into a life map with footprints; our emotions are ever-changing, and they are inseparable from the four characters. , Later, the emotions rose and the action was shocking... We are the salt of the earth, the warriors, the messengers, the species that thrives, continues, and is the most distant from "extinction"; We can't give more, as long as we persevere enough; we don't have what we have personally experienced, as long as we understand and cherish it. Lucky, we were really lucky.

    It is extremely lucky to live in the same era as the master, and ordinary people can stare at countless tearful moments on this planet through a pair of eyes of God. Destroyed rainforest can be reborn, and the land full of barrenness and death can also bloom the flowers of civilization. Salgado is an undercover agent sent by God to the world. It is not to satisfy any curiosity or artistic pursuit, but to engrave humanity with light. Eternal evidence.

    Salgado is not only a wonderful narrator of light and shadow, but his poetic and precise words are also powerful. In my eyes, human beings are the viruses of the earth, corrupting heaven into purgatory, but the master has never fallen into nothingness after seeing famine, suffering, tyranny and killing. He said: I love human beings, they are the salt of the earth-this is commendable. The earth soothes and heals Salgado's broken and desperate heart. The forest he planted is a repayment and reward for the planet.

The Salt of the Earth quotes

  • Sebastião Salgado - Photographer: We are a ferocious animal. We humans are terrible animals. Our history is a history of wars. It's an endless story, a tale of madness.

  • Sebastião Salgado - Photographer: To think that these three-month-old trees will reach their apex in 400 years. Perhaps from there we could try to grasp the concept of eternity. Maybe eternity is measurable.
