travel starts with photography

China News Service, October 10st (Reporters Ding Si, Meng Qiwei)
At 10 a.m. on October 21st, the photography exhibition "Dunhuang: A Story of a Thousand Years of Love" opened at the Fabre Museum in Montpellier, France.

This exhibition is the largest Dunhuang photography-themed exhibition in Europe so far. With the theme of "Classic Dunhuang Goddess", it reproduces the immortal charm of the thousand-year-old grotto art. Chinese photographer Chen Xing and dancer Tang Shiyi jointly demonstrated the reality of Dunhuang art. vitality.

A total of 28 works are exhibited this time, which are both classic and contemporary, offering a diverse structure, rich content, and a collection of ancient and modern art exhibitions for photographers and the public.

As of 792:[-] p.m. that day, the number of visitors to the photography exhibition was [-]. Sophie Marceau and her daughter also attended the photography exhibition. According to the reporter's interview, Sophie Marceau and photographer Chen Xing have a very deep personal relationship. Friendship, even made a preface in a travelogue written by photographer Chen Xing.

This photography exhibition will last for 6 days, and it is planned to choose three more cities in Asia and America for the exhibition, but the works have been sold at high prices, which is a great pity for other people who want to collect Chen Xing’s works .

The curator Seth, who is also the gallery manager of the photographer Chen Xing, mentioned in an interview with us that Chen Xing is the most talented photographer he has ever seen. His Chinese-style photography fully captures the rich heritage of Chinese culture Shown to audiences all over the world, the artistry and culture are unique among young photographers...

"Tell my sister honestly, how much does one of your photos sell for?" Tang Shiyi's voice came from the phone.

"I really don't know, only part of it was sold, and there is no specific news yet."

Chen Xing said in a helpless tone.

He was on the plane flying to Norway at the moment, and he wanted to take a short break on the plane, but Tang Shiyi quickly called, and the conversation lasted for half an hour, and now the plane was almost landing.

Sweden and Norway are close to each other, and the straight-line distance is not far from Rongcheng to Shancheng.

Except for climbing, landing, and the smooth flight time in the middle, the plane was wasted by this call.

"I didn't expect that, you and Sophie Marceau are also related."

Chen Xing sat up, didn't rest at all, asked the stewardess for a glass of water, and continued: "Didn't I say it before? I've done well abroad, and I've seen most of the first-line stars in France. What, you Want to come to France too? I can introduce you."

"Bah, I'm not going."

French musicals have not developed well in China.

Tang Shiyi just saw the news and was a little curious. After chatting about the recent situation, he hung up the phone and sent the link of the news to Chen Xing.

Chen Xing stretched his neck.

Due to the short flight distance, few people on the plane really slept. They either chatted with the neighbors, or rested on the soft seats and listened to music. Sometimes there were white clouds outside the window, and sometimes it was A green land.

In Norway, the population here is half that of Sweden, and the greenness of the city is better than that of Sweden.

So what you see from the high altitude is all green, and there are often ponds between the green, cutting the green land into pieces, much like pieces of gems.

Looking inside the plane, two beautiful stewardesses are walking back and forth, taking care of passengers in need.

Although Norwegian Shuttle Airlines is only a low-cost airline, its service attitude is very good. The stewardess is worthy of the name stewardess. It doesn’t matter if the fare is a little expensive. Chen Xing doesn’t want to see those flight attendants anyway. Don't believe in elegance.

Low-cost airlines do not mean that the plane is cheap, and the model that can use mobile phones on the plane is not bad.

It’s just that he split the services of normal airlines. For example, ordinary planes will provide you with a meal, and low-cost airlines will not provide you with this meal for free, but if you want to spend this part of the money, that is You can order meals.

"Hi passengers, I am the captain of this flight, Yurumi Lumi Jansen. I have arrived in Oslo. The temperature in Oslo today is 18 degrees. There may be heavy rain. Remember to bring an umbrella when you travel. I wish passengers and friends a pleasant journey."

This female pilot has a good voice, but I don't know what she looks like.

Get off the plane and pass through.

From Sweden to Norway, there will be no customs to make things difficult for you. After checking the contents of the luggage, Chen Xing will pass through.

These foreigners are also watching dishes.

The temperature in Oslo is similar to Gothenburg, there is no need to change clothes, there is no train at the airport, and Chen Xing didn't even find a bus here, so he could only hail a taxi at the gate of the airport.

There are relatively few taxis in Northern Europe, which is inseparable from the high price.

It is impossible to find a bus.

The driver looked like he was in his 30s, but his hair was half bald in front, and he looked a bit like Guo Da when he covered his face... Chen Xing was referring to Guo Dastanson. It was very full, but the people were not bad.

He can't speak English, and Chen Xing certainly doesn't understand Norwegian, so he asked him to send him to Oslo with gestures.

After getting in the car, Chen Xing opened the translation software on his mobile phone and said, "Brother, is it far from here to Oslo?"

"It's not far, it'll be here at night, you Huaxia people are smart enough to have this kind of APP for easy communication."

"Not in Europe?"

"It's not very convenient to use. I also took over a Chinese customer last time. The voice of his mobile phone is the same as yours. The translation is too fast."

"Thank you, I don't think I saw the subway in the airport?"

"Didn't see it? That means you didn't find it, haha, the elves let us meet together."

He is very happy. He can earn a lot of money by taking a passenger from the airport to Oslo. He thought the passenger was in a hurry, but he just couldn’t find the location of the subway. Well, this is really a sad story. I hope this handsome Huaxia The little brother will not have any bad impression of Norway because of the price of the fare.

Anyway, the Huaxia man almost called the police last time.

"..."

"Then when will we be able to arrive in Oslo?" Chen Xing asked again.

"Within an hour."

The road conditions are good, but there is rain on the road today, he needs to drive slowly, otherwise 40 minutes will definitely be up.

"But handsome guy, I need to tell you something. The starting price of our domestic taxi is 80 Norwegian kroner, 18 kroner per kilometer. This trip costs about 600 yuan in the past. Do you accept it? If not, I can put it here get down."

Out of the airport is a small town, where there are also buses to Oslo.

But it must be a little troublesome.

Chen Xing has been in Sweden for a while, and he knows that prices in Northern Europe have always been high, so he nodded and said, "I know, but I came here in a hurry and don't have much Norwegian currency. Can I pay the bill in Euros then?"

"Okay, you can accept it."

It's about 400 yuan in Huaxia coins.

I heard that Norway is the place with the highest prices in the world. A meal in a restaurant is blood instead of money. At that time, Chen Xing was mentally prepared for the prices here.

Fortunately, I also earn a lot.

Chen Xing thought about the message Seth sent him in the afternoon.

The oil boss is really rich...

"Where did you come from, handsome guy? Chinese people usually come here in the morning." The driver started to find something to talk about.

"Sweden."

"Sweden? Sweden is not good now, it has fallen."

Chen Xing put his mobile phone next to the driver's seat and listened to the driver's complaints about Sweden.When the car was driving halfway, it started to rain heavily, and the vision was poor. The water flowing on the road was visible to the naked eye outside the window, and the sound of raindrops hitting the roof of the car was like beating a drum.

"It's really unexpected that there is still such a heavy rain now." The driver said.

It stands to reason that the rainy season should have passed.

The speed of the car slowed down further, but the driver had already set aside time, and arrived at the hotel that Chen Xing had booked within an hour.

Chen Xing counted 55 euros from his wallet to him and said:
"Are you going back?"

"Yes, I don't live in Oslo."

"Be careful on the road."

"Hey, you are really interesting, boy, take down my phone number, remember to call me if you have somewhere to go."

Chen Xing pressed a few times on the phone, nodded and said, "Okay, I have something to ask you."

European taxis can’t be hailed casually on the road, and sometimes no car will come after an hour’s appointment. At this time, it’s much more convenient to have a driver’s phone number... There is no middleman to make the difference!
Before Chen Xing got out of the car, someone opened the co-pilot's door with a click. A man in a blue suit held an umbrella outside the car and said in English, "Excuse me, is this Mr. Chen Xing?"

"it's me."

"Great, we thought you wouldn't be here today, it's raining so much."

Chen Xing nodded to him and got out of the car.

The umbrella was very big, and the two of them didn't get much rain under the umbrella.

The hotel is still a Marriott.

Chen Xing is now a frequent customer of this company, with many records of opening rooms, and he belongs to a member who has not issued a membership card.

The room is on the third floor.

Chen Xing didn't see the difference between houses in Oslo and Sweden. It was dark and raining heavily on the way. Chen Xing couldn't see anything except the lights outside the car window due to the rain.However, the Marriott Hotel has not changed much. It is a tall building with six floors.

A six-story building is definitely considered a tall building in Europe, especially in the city center.

European cities do not easily demolish old houses. They have a small population and do not need to build high-rise buildings. You say that tall buildings are fine in Sweden with a population of more than 1000 million. What are they panicking about in Norway with a population of only [-] million?There are less than a quarter of the people in Rongcheng.

So it's basically an old house.

Chen Xing took a shower in the room, and walked to the window in his bathrobe.

It was still pouring rain outside the window.

Downstairs is the fountain at the entrance of the Marriott Hotel. The entire hotel occupies an oval shape. In the middle of the oval is the hotel building. There is a fountain in the front, a small square in the back, trees are planted on the side, and a straight street in front. .

The location is still very good, at the intersection of a T-junction.

Looking into the distance along the road outside the window, although you can't see what is covered by the rain, you can know from the map that the Oslo National Theater is opposite, and then the Royal Palace is ahead.

Chen Xing likes rainy days very much. He finds that wherever he goes, he always encounters a time when it rains in this city.

The street lamps on the ground stood up like rows of soldiers under the rain, and the sound of raindrops was like a symphony in Chen Xing's ears.

He didn't sleep in bed that night, he opened the window a little.

The rain is not easy to come in, but the wind is very comfortable, and the beige curtains are blown up by the wind from time to time.

The air conditioner is on, so I don't worry about how cold it will be.

He moved the sofa to the window, watched the rain under the lights in a silky state, covered with a thin blanket, and soon fell asleep.

It is quite comfortable to sleep on the sofa occasionally.

Forget about the wooden sofa, Chen Xing felt that if the sofa was not soft, it would be meaningless.

The scenery outside the window has changed several times.

The rain is fading, and the stars occasionally show their heads, but only the brightest few can be seen. In the city, even in the Nordic cities, it is impossible to have such good stargazing conditions in the wild. The moon sets and the sun rises. But the wind doesn't stop.

The curtains are like lovers, blown by the wind from time to time, brushing against Chen Xing's legs...

When the light shone on Chen Xing's eyes, he woke up.

His body was a little stiff, so he stood up and moved a little bit, then stretched his hands upwards, and stretched his waist well.

"Bashi!"

Grab the curtain and draw her to the left, opening the window completely.

The cold wind suddenly rushed into the room that was warmed by the air conditioner, and the scenery outside the window was unobstructed.

Traffic, flags, noise.

Chen Xing leaned on the railing and looked at it for a long time before going to wash and change clothes. This city, oh no, he wanted to come to this country for a long time. The book described this country as the most comfortable and leisurely country, so Chen Xing wanted to go out. See what's different here and Sweden.

Get dressed and go downstairs with your camera.

The fountain at the entrance of the hotel replenished important water resources yesterday, and is now very active, and the water column is spraying very high.

Several children were playing around in front of the fountain.

The sounds that children make when they are happy are a bit harsh to Chen Xing, they are screams of unknown meaning, but the pictures are beautiful, especially the toddler Caucasian little sister who is brought by her five or six-year-old brother, with blond hair There are not many roots, and they are protected and played by their elder brother in the misty water vapor in the air.

Chen Xing took a few photos.

A couple who were only a few meters away from Chen Xing saw Chen Xing taking pictures and came over after discussing with his wife.

"Hello, are you taking pictures? Can you give us some pictures?"

"You are?"

"I am their parent." He pointed to the children playing.

"Oh..." Chen Xing said with a smile on his face, "Of course it's no problem, your children are very cute."

Photographers can take pictures, but if you want to use it commercially, it is best to discuss it with the model.Ordinary street photography is okay for you to see for yourself, but if someone asks for photos, you have to ask who it is. No matter who it is, as long as you take photos, you have to be responsible for these photos.

"They are not as good as you said, they are a group of little devils." The woman said softly.

Chen Xing showed them the photos he just took.

The children were still playing, unaware that Chen Xing had photographed them a dark history that would be shown off by their parents in the next few decades. (end of this chapter)
