About Behind Glory 'n Wugang-Dokumentêr

Dit is 'n fotografiese dokumentêr van Wugang, die Wuhan Iron and Steel Company. Ondersteun deur die Russiese en gebou in 1958, is die staatsbeheerde Wugang een van die grootste staalfabrieke in China en het eens aangedui op die industrialisasie en modernisering van die land. Sulke nywerhede veroorsaak egter ernstige omgewingsbesoedeling. Deur die sterk besoedelde Wugang-kampus met somber beelde vas te lê, onthul hierdie projek die prys wat betaal is en die gevolg van die glorie van modernisering en ekonomiese welvaart, wat die kykers uitlok na 'n skoon en gesonde omgewing.
