After being injured by the bombing, Rebecca temporarily returned to a normal life track. After being absent for a long time, she found that she had to face too much, her husband's loneliness and incomprehension, and her daughter's introversion and doubts. But she is undoubtedly professional, her expression is always so calm, and she insists on taking pictures of what she has seen in the chaos.
In the newspaper, she is a hero. In life, she is just an ordinary wife, a mother with two children. No one knows how much money is paid behind the success. In order to save the marriage, she even made preparations not to return to the war zone. But he knows her too well, every time she takes a break is just for a better attack.
After the trip to Africa, her daughter understood her choice. And she set off again, with a Canon SLR, and a bunch of equipment that smelled of death, and came to the place that made her vent her anger. There, she witnessed the cruelty of human flesh bombs, saw the suffering of Muslim women and children, and felt the life-threatening death threats of terrorist organizations at close range. Faced with the helpless eyes of refugees, she could only press again and again. Lower the shutter. She wants the world to know what's going on, and she wants people to pay more attention to the faraway side when they read the newspaper and drink coffee in the morning.
In the news network program, the domestic situation is very good, but on the other side of the world, unthinkable things are always happening. Bombs, suicides, religious persecutions, but what does this have to do with us who are too ordinary? International events and the rent collected are more important?
The sufferings and traumas of this world are happening all the time, never stopped, and then forgotten like the disappearing smoke of gunpowder. We have seen too many killings in other people's shots and become numb as a result. As a western journalist in the movie "Hotel Rwanda" said, "You think that what you take will be watched, so that some people care about the situation here? I don't think they will watch TV and say, "Oh my God; that It’s horrible.’ Then continue to dinner."
Zhan Jiang once said that there are no real war reporters in China. "Shui Junyi is a hotel warrior, and so is Luqiu." It is true that China has no shortage of excellent reporters, but war photographers have no shortage of journalistic labels, high professional ethics and high professional ethics. Professional requirements, coupled with China's unique news environment, excellent war correspondents can be described as sporadic.
Very often, they are just a group of people who use their lives to report in front of the scene of the war. It's what makes them willing to take risks with their lives, to record things that even few people care about, whether a photo is worth so much. There is no answer. Some people predict that as long as there are humans. There will be war. When there is war, we can always see those brave people.
I don't want to stand on the highest point of morality to praise them, because they have their own persistence and love, and firmly believe that what the world should see most is the suffering that is happening.
