Siheyuan: Mastery started in the 50s

When Jia Mu saw Wang Qiang, she smiled and said, "Yes, the weather is nice today, so I came out for a walk. Qiangzi, are you taking pictures?"

Wang Qiang nodded and showed her the photos in the camera. Jia's mother looked at her own photos with a gleam of satisfaction in her eyes: "It's a great photo, Qiangzi, you have a good skill."

Wang Qiang smiled and felt a sense of accomplishment. He knew that he was not only learning photography, but also using this method to record the beauty of life and those moments worth cherishing.

As time went by, Wang Qiang's photography skills became more and more sophisticated, and he began to try different shooting themes. Once, he took his family on a trip to the suburbs and took a lot of beautiful scenery and photos of his family. Looking at those photos, his heart was filled with happiness.

"Dad, these photos are so beautiful!" the daughter said excitedly as she looked at the album.

Wang Qiang touched her head and said with a smile: "When you grow up, Dad will teach you how to take more beautiful photos."

His wife was also watching, her eyes full of praise: "Qiangzi, you are really talented. I think you can take these photos to a competition, maybe you can win a prize."

Wang Qiang was filled with fighting spirit after hearing this. He decided to participate in a photography competition to test his level. After a period of preparation, he selected a few photos that he was most satisfied with and sent them over.

On the day when the results of the competition were announced, Wang Qiang nervously opened the email. When he saw his name on the list of winners, he felt extremely happy and proud. He knew that this was not only a recognition of his efforts, but also an affirmation of life.

In the evening, Wang Qiang took his family to celebrate. They sat in the restaurant, enjoying the food and chatting happily. Wang Qiang looked at his wife and daughter, and his heart was full of gratitude. He knew that he could not get to where he is today without the support and companionship of his family.

"Dad, will you participate in competitions in the future?" the daughter asked naively.

Wang Qiang smiled and nodded: "Of course, Dad will take more beautiful photos to record our lives."

On this day, Wang Qiang felt more satisfied and fulfilled than ever before. He knew that life would always have its ups and downs, but as long as he had love and goals in his heart, he would be able to find the motivation to move forward. He decided to continue using photography to record the beauty of life and make these moments into eternal memories. He also understood that his life was not just for himself, but for his family and for those who once and still occupy an important place in his heart.

Wang Qiang continued his photography journey. He began to participate in more photography activities and met many like-minded friends. They discussed photography techniques, shared each other's works, and encouraged and supported each other. This kind of communication made Wang Qiang feel very fulfilled. He found that his life could be so colorful.

Once, he went to a remote village with several photography friends to shoot the scenery. This is a place surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the scenery is very beautiful. Wang Qiang was deeply attracted by the natural scenery here. He took a lot of photos, each of which was full of vitality.

In the village, they met an old farmer who saw them taking pictures and warmly invited them to his home. Wang Qiang and his friends gladly accepted and followed the old farmer to his simple home.

Although the old farmer's home is simple, it is very clean and tidy. Wang Qiang and his friends sat down, and the old farmer brought them a pot of hot tea and talked to them about the stories of the village. Wang Qiang was deeply moved by the old farmer's simplicity and sincerity, and he decided to use his camera to record these ordinary yet beautiful moments.

"Qiangzi, life here is so desirable." exclaimed a photography friend.

Wang Qiang nodded: "Yes, every piece of land and every person here has their own story. I hope to record these stories with my camera."

The old farmer smiled and said, "You young people are passionate and have dreams, which is great. I hope you can use your lens to let more people see the beauty of our place."

Wang Qiang was deeply moved by the photo shoot. After returning home, he spent a lot of time organizing and editing the photos. He hopes that these photos can convey what he saw and felt in the village, and allow more people to feel the beauty and simplicity there.

When he posted these photos online, they received a lot of praise and support. People were moved by these real and touching pictures and left messages to express their gratitude. Wang Qiang felt extremely satisfied, and he knew that he had found a new direction in his life.

One night, Wang Qiang was sitting in his study, reading the book "Capturing the Moment" on the table, feeling a lot of emotions in his heart. He thought of Jia Dongxu and the past years, and a complex emotion surged in his heart. He knew that he chose photography not only to fill the emptiness in his heart, but also to commemorate the past years and the boy who once ran with him.

Recently, Wang Qiang felt very bored at home. Although he had a new hobby - photography, he often felt that something was missing in his life after the shooting mission was over. He lay on the sofa, staring at the ceiling, his mind was blank. His wife and children were out visiting relatives, and the house seemed unusually quiet.

"Maybe I should find something to do instead of sitting around doing nothing." Wang Qiang said to himself. He decided to go to a nearby cafe, hoping to find some inspiration or meet interesting people.

Walking into the cafe, a warm atmosphere greeted him, and the aroma of coffee made him feel a little better. He ordered a cup of Americano and found a seat by the window. The street scene outside was in full view, with people coming and going, looking busy and fulfilled.

Just as he was lost in thought, a familiar voice rang out: "Wang Qiang, is that you?" He looked up and saw a middle-aged man with a friendly smile on his face. It was his old classmate Li Jian.

"Li Jian, long time no see!" Wang Qiang stood up in surprise and shook hands with Li Jian.

The two chatted about their lives. Li Jian told Wang Qiang that he is now the creative director of an advertising company and his work is busy but fulfilling. Wang Qiang briefly talked about his photography hobby and his recent life.

"I'm working on a new project in my company recently, and I need some creative ideas in photography. I wonder if you are interested in participating?" Li Jian suddenly suggested.

Wang Qiang's eyes lit up, and the boredom in his heart instantly dissipated. He had been looking for new challenges and opportunities, and this proposal was undoubtedly a good choice.
