About Behind Glory In Wugang-Dokumintêre

Dit is in fotografyske dokumintêre fan Wugang, de Wuhan Iron and Steel Company. Stipe troch de Russyske en boud yn 1958, is de steatbesit Wugang ien fan 'e grutste stielfabriken yn Sina en betsjutte ienris de yndustrialisaasje en modernisearring fan it lân. Sokke yndustry feroarsaket lykwols slimme miljeufersmoarging. Troch it fêstlizzen fan de heul fersmoarge Wugang-kampus mei sombere bylden, ûntbleatet dit projekt de betelle priis en it gefolch efter de gloarje fan modernisearring en ekonomyske wolfeart, en provokearet de sjoggers yn it sykjen nei in skjinne en sûne omjouwing.
