This Story Begins When the Floodwater Recedes | China Youth Daily
Li Junhu—China Youth Daily
By the time the July floods began to recede, the vast majority of journalists already had left the affected areas. Photographer Li Junhui bucked the trend: He stayed behind in Yixing city, Jiangsu province, and visited three townships badly hit by the flood. Geese farming and crab farming are common in this area, but most of the animals didn’t survive, causing great loss to the villagers. The waterscapes in Li’s photos show an otherworldly reality.
