Photographer captures city s hutong history By LI HONGYANG | China Daily | Updated: 2021-05-04 09:25 Share Jia Yong in Beijing in 1998. CHINA DAILY
Over the past 37 years, Jia Yong, a Beijing resident dedicated to taking photos in hutong－the capital s traditional alleys－has been capturing and composing everyday life into pieces of art. People are more expressive than stationary objects in my photos, Jia said. People can represent times because in different eras, even only 10 years apart, people who live in the same alley would have a totally different living situation and attitude towards life.
In his alley-themed photos are residents at their doors enjoying the cool air, a deliveryman handing out the daily newspaper and a barber cutting a boy s hair.
